Ooru naito rongu 2

The second part of the ALL NIGHT LONG trilogy is a truly Sadean film. Every character is subjected to appalling humiliation and torture, inflicted for the gratification of the torturers. The only comparable Western picture is SALO O LE 120 GIORNATE DI SODOMA. But where Pier Paolo Pasolini's movie is a political allegory, writer-director Katsuya Matsumura focuses on his characters. He's interested in what drives them, why some are predators and others victims, and how certain victims ultimately become predators.

A gang's protection racket victimizes a high-school student with whom the gang leader becomes obsessed. The leader makes every effort to seduce the

student. When his advances are rebuffed, the leader tries to force the student into acts of degradation and violence. The student's friends are also captured and brutalized. The leader's efforts are finally successful: the student becomes every bit as savage as his tormentors.

ALL NIGHT LONG 2 is exceptionally graphic, with explicit and realistic depictions of every outrage, but what makes the movie so disturbing is the believability of the characters. All of the cast delivers powerful and convincing performances, although many of them (like most of the technical crew) didn't allow their real names to be used in the credits.

Certainly not for all audiences, OORU NAITO RONGU 2: SANJI is nonetheless seriously-intentioned, and amongst the most effective studies ever of the darkest recesses of humanity.

This film is extremely similar to a hardcore porn: scanty set decoration (80 % of "Atrocity" takes place in a lonely appartement...) and a thin plot. And as a porn movie jumps from one sex scene to the next this flick does the same with gore. Nevertheless the second installment of the gruesome "All Night long"-series is quite worth watching, because the characters are all well-developed and if you like extreme cinema and you´ve nerves of steel will surely have fun with it. Similar to "I Spit on your Grave" there´s no music brought on to make the shocking scenes of brutal rape and killing even more disturbing! If you´re into mainstream horror: stay far far away!!! However, if you like extreme sickos: check this out as soon as possible!!!

I haven't seen any other movies from this series nor from this director. First,I was really positively surprised; The movie is (contrary to my predictions)actually very well made and serious.The story is quite intelligent,the themes and events in the plot are actually very similar to Caspar Noe's "Irreversible"(2002). I think Atrocity is better and deeper of these two. I don't think this film is similar to "Salo" like some other reviewer said; This is more like an moral story, unlike Pasolini/deSade,who both seemed to worship the sadism and sexual "immorality" they portrayed in their work (both also tried to make it their life philosophy). The acting is good overally, although the other bad guys(than the leader of the gang)are real bad(actors); they could be in "Toxic Avenger 2" or something. The effects are really nasty. The movie is hard to watch at some points,but I think it's worth the "suffering". Some reviewers said that this movie gives a pessimistic view of the mankind. I don't totally agree with that; After all,this movie is only about some real sick individuals,and it doesn't show very much other world or the environment where they live.These kind of really sick people surely do exist,fortunately most of us don't have to deal with them in our lives. The main character is "good",although the ending is a lil' bit surprising. This film makes you feel sick, but it also shows/reminds you how sick the world can be in some places, to some people. I don't know much about the Japanese society,but I'm sure these kind of people exist,at least in some biggest&sickest cities or societies in the world.The moral story seems to be (at least till the ending...) similar to stories like "Taxi driver"&"Sin city"; In an evil world, you must "fight evil with evil"... Interesting film, recommended to interested, but not for everybody!

All Night Long 2 (1995) is the second film of the dark and depraved All Night Long trilogy. If you thought the first film was nasty and it couldn't get any sicker, well it has. This time the movie was shot on video giving it an even more feel of realism, it's like watching a snuff film (if those things really existed). Gutter level horror film making at it's best.

A young Japanese student is having a hard time making friends. But he finds one on the internet. But he finds out that the person is not what he seems to be. The poor kid is tormented by the gang of homicidal nut cases and drive him up the wall. Can the kid protect himself and fend of the gang of sadistic sickos or will he fall into the same hole of depravity that the rest of them have fallen into?

Why are these films made? Who knows but if shocking the hell out of the viewers and being as twisted and insane as you want to be is the golden rule then it has succeeded on all levels. The trilogy ends with a film that is so insane I had a hard time finishing it.

Rated X and it shows.

Recommended for fans of the genre. Others need not apply.

So much is said about the All Night Long trilogy that I started searching them. I found the trilogy at a sell out at a video library, just payed 6 euro's for it. Was I lucky. After watching part one 1 I wasn't really into the movie, it let me down for some parts. But was I happy that I kept watching and plugged part 2 into the player. This one is so much better. Again, not a typical J-horror. This time it's a gang of gays that go for rape and murder. And this time it really happens on screen. It's all about gore and sexual depravity. A girl is kept captive just for pleasure and is treated like a dog. A bit like the movie Salo. For the easy offended there are homosexual love acts on screen but also a girl being raped full nude by the gang and another must make love to herself in a bath while everybody is watching. But it is the last 15 minutes that the gore comes alive. I've watched the strong uncut version, 76 minutes in stead of the usual 68 minutes. Not for everybody but for the freaks out there.
