Nekeddo burâddo: Megyaku

Sato's extension of his earlier GENUINE RAPE is an incredible transgressive horror movie.A teenage boy sabotages his mother's anti-pregnancy experiments by spiking the test injections with his own endorphin called "Myson".Myson is his own concoction which turns pleasure into pain.The greater the pain,the greater the pleasure.Without wanting to spoil any surprises,i can warn the more weak hearted that there are some shocking scenes (a woman eats her own vagina lips with a knife and fork).But for viewers up to it,it's a fascinating,intelligent dissection of a movie that unwaveringly follows it's own premise no matter where it leads (like prime David Cronenberg for example).And it's a top notch exploitation classic. Sato is a very prolific director who's made countless movies (usually in the areas of sex and violence) since the 80's-but as far as i know,only this and THE BEDROOM are available subtitled in English. Did i mention the Virtual Reality cactus?

I watched this film thinking it would be another gore fest like the Guinea Pig series and in some ways it is. Yes, there are disturbing sequences of mutilation, including the much talked about nipple slicing scene. But, there is an intelligence to this movie that lifts it out of the run-of-the-mill splatter territory. The plot involves a teenage boy genius who has invented a mystery potion he names My Son. His mother is a scientist performing contraceptive experiments on three different women, he spikes a harmless contraceptive drug with My Son and films the results, along the way falling in love with one of the subjects. This is an interesting and intelligent movie, while some of the more out-there sequences will put off many it is a must see for people looking for something different.

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.

A teen scientist spikes the medicine his mother is testing on young woman and the result is gruesome death, for the drug turns pain into the highest pleasure and it doesn't take a clever mind what happens next.

This is a slow movie that takes a while to get going. The drug takes a while to react, and the once it does the women infected by it self-mutilate horribly. Even though the effects are not the best at times this is a profoundly disturbing film with several images that will haunt you long after the film.

Despite the gore, there appears to be a point about medicine and research and pain and pleasure, but the slowness and the grossness over whelm the film. In a twisted way I'm glad I saw it, but I don't need to see it again.

5 out of 10 ---- but if you can't stand blood stay miles away from this film.

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.
