Tokyo Gore Police (2008)

Be sure to click the blood is red image above and leave a comment in that post to enter the giveaway

 Tokyo Gore Police takes place in a not to distant future.  A fascist police force protects and rules Tokyo.   There is a virus that causes people to mutate and become mindless serial killers called engineers.  Ruka, our heroine, is a cop with an engineer killing specialty.  Her father was also a cop and was murdered in front of her.  Can she find out what is causing people to turn to engineers?

Plot-  It isn't that the plot is necessarily bad, but the writing is way over the top.  This movie has no idea what subtlety is and smacks you over the head with everything it does.  I realize that the film was supposed to be absurd, but it goes too far even for that.  Don't get me wrong, I love blood spray as much as the next guy... well probably a little more than the next guy, but a movie is not blood spray alone.

Acting- Nothing to see here move along.  Seriously, the acting here is pretty bad.  It is a B movie though, so you shouldn't really expect much else.  Also, the movie is over the top and I am pretty sure that even if anyone involved could act, they were told to be over the top.

Overall-  It is a really strange movie.  If you like really strange Asian movies, this one is a must see, because it definitely fits the bill.  While I can't really recommend it to anyone else, I can't tell you not to watch it because it just that strange.  No kids due to swimming pool amounts of blood spray, graphic mutant nudity, and some soccer with human head scenes.

This is one of the few movies that actually made me cringe. I like the movie but the girl/chair" was just wrong
