Ooru naito rongu

There might be hope for cult horror fans if Japan keeps making movies like "All Night Long." The tale of three high-school outcasts (the brainy geek, the aspiring pilot, and 'the guy with the car') who go after a savage gang of thugs after one of their girlfriends is raped and murdered is as lean and mean as classic revenge pics like "I Spit on Your Grave" and "House on the Edge of the Park." If the movie moves slow at times, it's with the good intention of developing the characters, which makes the violence of the last act more unsettling and personal.

6/10

It seems that this film is mainly destined to teen audiences, because the leads are young adults. It is a social drama disguised in a horror film, that's my analysis; a vitriolic portrait of Japanese youth thru those grown up kids. It is not an European film, no matter the actors, it is sometimes totally f...up in the making of scenes, bloody, brutal, bitter and funny a few seconds later. Not for Western audiences anyway, except the die hard fans of Asian cinema and Japanese in particular. But it is not too long, only ninety minutes, and it makes things a lot easier for me. This is not a crime film, my real cup of tea concerning Rising Sun country films. It is bearable however, and it is also the first movie of a series. Without me though.

After searching for some extreme Asian horror movie on IMDb this movie pop up and it been a long time since i watched a J-horror flick but after 90 minutes i finally realize how wrong i am.The movie have good start with characters i can relate too and there are strong performance thought out the movie but the rest is a complete trainwreck.The whole movie is just a bunch of random events smash together try to make sense but it executed so poorly.There three Japanese guy befriend with each other after witness a bizarre murder.I really care about these guys and want to know more about their live but the more the story go the more nonsense it become.I understand the movie goal is to show us audience the cold hard truth of reality but the way it approach is lazy as hell.The last 30 minutes of this movie is just simply mindless violence it seem like they don't know what to do next with the plot so they just show as much as gory disturbing stuff they can imagine and hope the audience sympathy with characters.If you interested with this movie feel free to check out the whole series by the same director

All Night Long (1992) is a dark and twisted film following three Japanese school mates. One day one of their girl friends is brutally tortured and raped by a gang of sick individuals. The three friends can't take it any more and begin to plot away to avenge their friend. But will the path to vengeance also lead to insanity? Can the friends help each other out in this darkest hour?

This has to be one of the most deranged films I have ever seen in awhile. But this film was nothing compared to the movies that soon followed. Dude, this film makers has a more skewed vision of the world than I do and that's saying something. If you like gutter level revenge flicks (Like I do) then look no further. Kind if hard to find but keep on looking. I don't think anyone can view all three films in one sitting.

Rated X and it shows!

Recommended for fans of this genre. Others definitely need not apply.

Hopelessly bleak and nihilistic tale of 3 kids who after who witness a senseless, random murder & attempt to find three girls to go to a party to cheer them up. All of them end in heartache in one way or another. Ok, that synopsis doesn't sound like the movie is horror, but trust me it is. All the actors are believable. The violence is NOT over-the-top, but rather shown in a matter of fact way. The only part that wasn't that good was the ending, when they fade to black the first time, just press stop on your dvd player.

Where I saw it: own it on dvd

My Grade: B-
