  Bizarre Japanese cyber-punk gore-fest with a bit of tragi-romance thrown in. Despite the obvious low-budget it's got some crazy and oddly impressive make-up effects and visuals... and of course lots of OTT bloody moments. It's a great effort but not a great film but manages… More

  Awesome in oh so many ways. Forget the comparisons to Tetsuo, who gives a shit and those complaints are just by people who love to complain about anything. If you're a fan of over the top, no holds barred, weirdo movies this should make your day. A mixture of all types of… More
  Awesome in oh so many ways. Forget the comparisons to Tetsuo, who gives a shit and those complaints are just by people who love to complain about anything. If you're a fan of over the top, no holds barred, weirdo movies this should make your day. A mixture of all types of genres and there is never a dull moment. Highly recommended.
