Nekeddo burâddo: Megyaku

A movie that is supposed to be 100% gore, 100% bloody and 100% extreme(as the Japan Shock DVD cover modestly states), is a movie I gotta see. I love gore movies, and with all the praise Naked Blood had been getting, well, I just had to check it out. Pity to say, I was disappointed.

Hisayasu Sato is, of course, one of the biggest names in extreme Japanese cinema, responsible for movies such as Lolita: Vibrator Torture and Rape: For Real. Naked Blood is a step away from these mainly sex-driven movies, and even tries for some sort of plot. Kid scientist invents new painkiller, tests it on three girls who then start to experience pain as pleasure. With all the horrible results you can imagine.

Now, the gore in the movie is definitely gory, although it's all very bearable. But where does this movie go wrong then? Imo, its problem lies in the fact that it's overly pretentious. A plot is one thing, but a Freudian hyper-bizarre moronic plot is another. The worst thing about the whole story though, is how generic it is - in all its bizarreness, it's never complex. Basically everything is predictable and, to be honest, boring. This movie has a runtime of 76 minutes, but it isn't even able to stay interesting.

In the end, the overall feeling you get from this movie is a 'wtf' one. Whether that's because of the fact that you couldn't stand the gore, found the story immensely complicated, or, like me, found it a moderately enjoyable waste of a good 76 minutes, I don't know, but wtf it shall be.

Leaves me to say that the old Super8 film Eiji's mother is watching is strangely intriguing, and possibly the highlight of this movie. Its faded colors and bright tone, combined with a mysterious 'plot', makes for a seriously interesting movie-in-a-movie. At this points, Hisayasu Sato displays a hidden genius. However, the rest of Naked Blood still is nothing but 100% mediocre.

Eiji,a young scientist invents serum called Myson which transforms the pain into pleasure.His mother is conducting medical experiment on three young women.Eiji decides to mix his serum with the experimental product that his mother is working on.Soon the girls start to hurt and mutilate themselves with a strange pleasure at doing it.The three main female actresses are truly interesting characters-one is obsessed with eating and her obsession later results in incredibly graphic and shocking self-cannibalism scene,another is obsessed with her image.The third,Rika Mikami suffers from extreme form of insomnia-a condition brought by the trauma of her first period."Naked Blood" is a slow-moving film filled with moments of totally extreme gore.The scene where one of the girls slowly eats her own nipple and eye has to be seen to be believed!Still the film is pretty difficult to understand,so fans of mindless Hollywood's horror should avoid it.A must-see for fans of Japanese extreme cinema.10 out of 10!

I should start off by saying that I am a huge gorehound. I like movies that take things to the extreme. I heard of this movie through watching the infamous Guinea Pig series. A person from IMDb specifically told me if I liked that series that I should love Naked Blood. After a few months of searching for this title I finally came across it. What I thought was going to be a straight splatter fest turned into a rather psychological film that just happened to have some really disturbing elements to it.

The storyline is not really what is in the forefront of the movie, more or less, it was the atmosphere and moodiness of the film (and of course the gore), but I will give a brief description anyway. A 17 year old boy genius has created a serum that if injected will turn pain into pleasure. He decides to test it on three girls and the results are exactly what you think they might be.

This film is so much more then that brief description, though. There is a lot of bizarre elements to the film that in one viewing couldn't possibly be understood. Hell, I don't even know if multiple viewings could sum up what the meaning of this film is. If you have seen this movie, you should know what I am talking about. If you haven't seen this then just watch it for yourself.

In my opinion, this was a great movie. Easily becomes one of my favorites. If you can find it, buy it. 9/10

A young genius develops a new wonder drug called 'Myson' which turns pain into pleasure - the more pain, the more pleasurable it becomes. His mother works at a local hospital and uses three women to conduct experiments on birth control. Unbeknownst to them, the son adds his new wonder drug to the other drugs and the three women become his experiment.

One of the women fries her hand, but it feels good and she then cannot stop hurting herself as it gives her more and more pleasure. Things get very messy as she cuts off her nipple and gouges out her eye and eats it!! She eventually kills herself.

Another cannot stop piercing herself and cutting herself. It soon becomes apparent that this drug is a nightmare - the victims can't stop butchering themselves.

There are several clever subplots but the real outstanding thing about this film is the gore - it's right up there with the best of the 'Guinea Pig' series and quite unlike anything you've seen before.

Highly recommended - if you call yourself a hardcore gorehound and are only used to Italian and US splatter, give this one a go - you'll be very surprised.

This movie has a strange softness to it between scenes of intense violence. It is sur-real and over the top.

It is a dream-like movie.

Hisayasu Sato added a real story to this one, well a start and a end of a story, just not a beginning and a finish..but who cares?

Do people watch these for the story or the shock value? Shock value here is about 90%.The Story is interesting but has holes, at 78 minutes that is not surprising. The effects are amazing. This is a movie for gore fans and those that like "weird but inoffensive." Not really worth looking for unless you are a collector.. but if you find it do watch it.

One strange flaw was the over the top sound effects, I have never heard a nipple "crunch" until this movie.
