| User ReviewChristopher BYou'd be shocked to hear this is a shinya tsukamoto movie. Has a much more lighter and mainstream feel, this film is very good so give it a scary try. |
| User ReviewPrivate UBasically a Japanese take on THE EVIL DEAD, from the director of the TETSUO films. This was made way back when not every Japanese horror movie was just a variation on RINGU. |
| User ReviewCathleen KDon't start watching this movie expecting another Tetsuo or you'll be disappointed. If you can watch it for what it is, a cheesy horror movie with a low budget and that classic japanese humor then you wont be disappointed. |
| User ReviewIrwin HC'est un film incroyable. Les bestioles mi-tete humaine et mi-araignee sont bien faite. Le realisateur, completement allume, film des cascades a velo que l'on ferait plutot en voiture dans un film americain (un cycliste passe a travers une porte a pleine vitesse) Bref j'ai deux questions a poser au realisateur : 1 que prends-tu ? 2 Il t'en reste ? |
| User ReviewGodfrey CTsukamoto proves he can use a camera in a more conventional sense with this super-fun, super-gory horror-comedy. While some technical elements are heavily borrowed from The Evil Dead and The Thing, this is definitely no rip-off. A great time, and a film that deserves to go in the "great movies to discover in high school" file right next to Evil Dead 2 and Re-Animator. |
| User ReviewKaneda ![b]Flesh + Blood[/b] - This movie is WEIRD. 6.5/10 [b]The Aviator[/b] - After [i]Gangs[/i] I was worried that Marty was loosing it. I am reassured he is fine with this one. [b]Fighter in the Wind[/b] - A very solid Kung Fu flick, quite enjoyable. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll beg for more. 8/10 - stupid movie finder... [b]Sword in the Moon[/b] - CHAOTIC editing...geez, one flashback lasted half and hour! Hell, I'm forgetting what is going on back in the future, or...wait...what? I'm lost. Still the fighting was sweet. [b]Stander[/b] - Not bad for direct to video. Also, this may be the only movie ever that Debra Kara Unger didn't bare all. [b]Hiroku the Goblin[/b] - This movie was great...this is one of the fun horror films that I wish I had on my resume. Silly at times, bloody as hell, and even a couple righteous scares. Plus, some good special effects at the end. If you liked [i]Tetsuo: The Iron Man[/i], you must check this out. 8.5/10 |
| User ReviewCountess NBeing Tsukamoto's first and only studio piece, I think its obvious, the ferocity and raw qualitys of his work are far from present. Even though this may be a drawback it's still got his charm, the shots are brilliant and there are even more than a few "jump" moments that I havent had in a long time. Seeing little heads run around on spider legs and jump on your face and stick their veiny tongue down your throat and make you commit suicide, I thought that was kinda cool. His pessimism is long gone aswell, where normall his films leave you feeling unfinished, this one wraps everything up with a nice pretty bow, for me, that was just too weird for a Shinya piece. Not to say this was a bad film or anything, buy any other standards it would be great, just not up there with his other work. |
| User ReviewChris ACrazy ass movie! Not everyone is going to appreciate it by a long shot but a must-see if you are interested in the genre. |
| User ReviewPeter HKind of cheesy and silly but overall not a bad flick to watch if you like weird spidery headed demons. |
| User ReviewTristan PI don't know which were scarier, the spider-goblins or the space worms. |
