This is the only film I simply could not finish because of how morally reprehensible and vile it is. I made it only a little over half-way through, and honestly, I want to cry as I am writing this. I had plenty of intention to see this for a long time, but I did not expect something so utterly immoral and perverse, it makes Slaughtered Vomit Dolls and August Underground look average horror films.
The Junko Furuta murder is well-known for how utterly cruel and sickeningly depraved it was, and Juvenile Crime seemingly attempts to depict a shred of the horrors she went through. This film is absolutely disturbing, but for all the wrong reasons; a good disturbing movie like Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom is supposed to shock you with its extreme content, but not glamorise the debauchery depicting on the screen. The reason Juvenile Crime is so disturbing is for one reason: It turns the Junko Furuta tragedy into literal hardcore rape pornography. An overwhelmingly large portion of this film is nothing but gang rape scenes presented in such extreme, prolonged, and explicit detail, frequently showing actual penetration and full nudity. It's genuinely like something out of Tumbling Doll of Flesh.
The utter disrespect towards Junko Furuta is immeasurable, as it seems this is a film made for viewers to get off to. It is masturbatory material for people with a rape fetish, yet the creators of this film decide to base their sick fetish material it on a real tragedy against an innocent 17-year-old girl. I won't even begin to give any sort of technical analysis as it is simply is not worth it. Why would I give any attempt of an in-depth review towards repulsive fetish material that spits in the face of an innocent girl who had been brutally raped, tortured, and murdered? All I have to say is, I have nothing but contempt for this film. Truly, one of the most morally reprehensible films I have ever attempted to watch. I will give Concrete a try, and pray it is not exploitative pornographic garbage like this film.
