As a huge fan of horror films, especially J-horror and also gore i thought Nekeddo burâddo sounded pretty good. I researched the plot, read reviews, and even looked at some photos to make sure it seemed like a good gory and scary movie to watch before downloading it. So excited it had finished and ready to be scared and recoiling in horror at the amazing gore i was expecting i was terribly disappointed. The plot was ridiculous and didn't even make sense and left too much unexplained, the gore was hilarious rather then horrifying, and what was with the cartoon style sound effects ? The acting was probably the only thing mildly scary about it. I did not understand the cactus idea and the way the mothers husband disappeared in the middle of the sea after following a flashing light, they left both pretty unexplained, or perhaps i missed it as my mind couldn't understand what i was actually seeing. I appreciate the way it was supposed to be; shocking and a few scenes (the strange cannibalism and own mother kissing?)certainly were, i just think they went a little bit far and not even in a horrifying way, they made it to unconvincing which made it more believable to be a comedy rather than a horror in my opinion. However it is a very entertaining film and got a lot of laughs out of me and a couple of friends, but sadly we were expecting horror not comedy so its worth a watch for the entertainment value, but don't be expecting a dark, deeply scary and horrifying film; you'll just be disappointed. If this was a horror comedy/spoof i'd probably rate it about a nine, the climax being the weird scene when the husband climbed inside his wife's stomach and closed up her wounds, but as a horror sadly i gave it a one.

Very bizarre film about a girl talking to her cactus through a virtual reality headset and killing people after being given a drug. Surreal, hilarious, and disturbing at times, this film takes a long time to get to the really good stuff, but it's worth it. Especially love the scene of the girl eating her own nipple! Great music and a perfect atmosphere coupled with typically wonderful Japanese acting. Honestly, the film doesn't actually make any conventional sense whatsoever, though it's probably not supposed to. Also, the film isn't actually that gory or shocking if you've seen stuff like Dead Alive, Premutors, Riki-Oh, and others. However, if you just want a bizarre movie that takes itself way too seriously, then this is definitely something to watch. You may not love it as much as I did but I personally thought it was somewhat brilliant. Definitely worth at least one watch if you've already managed to surf on here and read this review...

If Takashi Miike, director of extreme horrors Audition and Ichi the Killer, were to collaborate with Canadian body-shock auteur David Cronenberg, the result might look something like Hisayasu Sato's Naked Blood, a downright weird film with some very nasty scenes of explicit gore.Sadao Abe plays Eiji, a geeky 17 year old student genius who believes that he has discovered the answer to eternal happiness: his drug Myson, which triggers a massive increase in endorphin production when pain is experienced. In order to see if Myson works, he injects it into a trial contraceptive that his mother, a scientist, is about to test on three pretty volunteers.Whilst Eiji waits for Myson to take effect, he follows the girls around with a video camera, recording them as part of his experiment. One of the girls, Rika Mikami, spots him trailing her and confronts him. Eiji explains that he is the son of the scientist who has been treating her; this seems like a good enough reason to Rika for the lad's strange behaviour, and the two become friends.Then the film goes totally freaky, and not much else makes sense (unless you happen to be an advanced film student studying the history and psychology of Japanese Horror Cinema—which I'm not!).Rika reveals to Eiji that she is an insomniac who communicates with a cactus via a pair of headsets that can put you into a waking dream state; the other two girls begin to mutilate themselves in order to experience pleasure; we learn that Eiji's father believed he had found the answer to eternal life, and disappeared one day by walking into the sea; and Eiji discovers that Rika isn't quite the angel that she at first seemed to be.Sato directs his film at a very leisurely pace, and and those looking for a non-stop splatter-fest will no doubt be disappointed by a film that shares much more in common with avant-garde and transgressive cinema than out-and-out gore flicks.Don't switch off if you are a gore-hound, however: after a fair amount of chit chat and general weirdness, those seeking the juicy stuff will have their patience rewarded by some bloody realistic and truly nauseating effects, including really icky body-modification and scenes of self-cannibalisation. The make-up here is very realistic and unsettling; try not to wince as one girl repeatedly pushes a spike through her forearm, and the other hungry lass cuts off her 'beef curtains' for starters (without any horse-radish sauce), gouges out her eyeball for her main course, and removes her nipple with a knife for afters.There then follows some more strange stuff featuring Eiji's mother, who has her stomach opened up like a kit-bag by Rika, the return of Eiji's father (who crawls headfirst into Eiji's mother's gaping abdominal wound, closing it up neatly behind him!), some cyber-sex, more blood-letting, and a suitably bizarre ending which see Rika riding a motorbike towards the horizon, spraying a liquid (presumably Myson) into the air as she goes.A hard film to rate, since I didn't really understand what I was watching a lot of the time. However, given that it was never boring, and the impressive gore was well worth the wait, I think a 7/10 seems fair.*The other film to feature deep-fat-fried fingers was the excellent splatter epic The Machine Girl.

I should start off by saying that I am a huge gorehound. I like movies that take things to the extreme. I heard of this movie through watching the infamous Guinea Pig series. A person from IMDb specifically told me if I liked that series that I should love Naked Blood. After a few months of searching for this title I finally came across it. What I thought was going to be a straight splatter fest turned into a rather psychological film that just happened to have some really disturbing elements to it.The storyline is not really what is in the forefront of the movie, more or less, it was the atmosphere and moodiness of the film (and of course the gore), but I will give a brief description anyway. A 17 year old boy genius has created a serum that if injected will turn pain into pleasure. He decides to test it on three girls and the results are exactly what you think they might be.This film is so much more then that brief description, though. There is a lot of bizarre elements to the film that in one viewing couldn't possibly be understood. Hell, I don't even know if multiple viewings could sum up what the meaning of this film is. If you have seen this movie, you should know what I am talking about. If you haven't seen this then just watch it for yourself.In my opinion, this was a great movie. Easily becomes one of my favorites. If you can find it, buy it. 9/10
