It seems that every bozo who's written a comment for this movie has eventually come to a point and admitted that they gave up with trying to follow the plot. But not me! I stuck it out, and I'll now tell you exactly what transpired in Crazy Lips.Nah, I'm messing with you. I gave up as well. I did. Here's a quick glimpse into what Crazy Lips has to offer. The flick starts off with a family being bombarded by news reporters who want answers about their possible murdering brother. They hire some crazy psychic broad who can remote-sense through telephone lines, then there's her boob squeezin' obsessed side-kick. Then you find out one of the sisters has some type of super mind control power that she uses to kill people with, then the psychic chick orders 'ceremonies' on the entire family that basically just rapes them.....I can go on and on with the whackiness on display here. And it only gets weirder. You want incest and necrophilia? Okay! By the end it turned into a action flick with fights all over the place, and there was even some type of monster 'thing' supposedly on the loose. And there was even a song in the middle of the movie.Okay, Crazy Lips is nuts. It's that simple. But it's also entertaining. And if you dig any type of weirdness with elements of exploitation, then this should be right up your weird ass alley.

When Michio Kurahashi is suspected of being a serial killer and goes on the run, his pretty sister Satomi hires a psychic in a desperate bid to prove his innocence. And precisely what happens after that is anyone's guess...I usually jot down notes whilst watching a film to help make life easier for me when it comes to writing a comment, but about half an hour into Crazy Lips I put down my pen and paper, for accurately summarising the plot to this insane movie was clearly going to be impossible and all the scribbling in the world wouldn't help me to express my feelings about it.So I'm going to wing it, sans notation; bear with me...In a world where most mainstream cinema has become dull and predictable, I can always find time for the completely demented and bizarre, and Crazy Lips is just that—a depraved, off-the-wall piece of Japanese cinema that defies simple categorisation. Supernatural horror, mystery, music, soft porn, and martial arts are combined by director Hirohisa Sasakito to produce a messed up piece of work reminiscent of movie maverick Takashi Miike's offbeat output, only one lacking that director's unique narrative skills, sense of style and intelligence.But although Sasaki might not be a real threat to Miike when it comes to confrontational cinema (Takashi still holds the title 'King of Japanese Weirdness' for producing monumentally effed up movies like Visitor Q and Fudoh), Crazy Lips is still the only film I have ever seen to feature the wandering spirits of decapitated girls, a pair of FBI agents who keep an eye on proceedings through the screen of a television set, a scalping during intercourse, and a woman being forcefully double teamed by an evil psychic's assistant and a hanging corpse with a hard-on.All of which must surely count for something.

This movie is awful. The Plot is impossible to follow. Even if you got rid of the sickening and confusing visuals, there is no natural progression of events in this movie. None of the character's motivations are clear. So things happen and there is absolutely no explanation for these events, now or later.There are things that happen in this movie that are bad and no one would want to see these things. This movie is like a traffic accident except that unlike a horrifying traffic accident, it is very easy to look away from this movie.I am by no standard a prude or a radical Christian Conservative, but this movie sickened my sensibilities. I must warn you if you like gore, then you will not like this movie. If you like mysteries, then you will not like this movie.I'm pretty sure that the people involved in making this movie were all working with a different idea of what the finished product would look like. I don't think that any one person could work to make something this bad.This movie does not even have the redeeming value of being so bad that it could be considered funny.I came to own this movie. I will not say that I actually purchased it, but I can't deny that I did. I had to give it away and make the poor sap who took it promise not to tell anyone where he got it. He then gave it away under a similar contract. The movie ended up back on his doorstep like a sick and unwanted cat.

I'm still trying to figure this movie out, was this supposed to be a horror movie? turns out to be more of a comedy. When I saw this movie in the store and read the box it said "Made by the team that brought you Ringu, Ju-on, and Audition." now those are three great powerhouse movies and I thought that this movie would be the same, Boy was I wrong! This movie is more cheesy than hunk of Limburger and smells about the same.It kind of reminds me of all the videos you find on the internet these days, the ones where a bunch of college aged kids are trying to make a horror movie but all they end up with is a low budget soft porn with blood. This movie also reminds me of movies they showed on MST3K, on the plus side for this movie is the good looking actresses and nudity and the fact that it wasn't boring, maybe because your mind is asking you "are we really watching this?"
