Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead

This movie is a Japanese gift that takes iconic elements of their culture and presents them in the most economical way possible. Although we have situations that stimulate the viewer, the story itself leaves a lot to be desired. It reminds me of the worst Andrea Bianchi. The film has many weaknesses: it does not disgust, it does not disturb, it barely entertains in a small portion of its short duration. In the hands of someone more capable this movie would have been wonderful. It was not the case.

This film begins with a woman by the name of "Kanae" (Asami) doing housework when her husband comes home and proceeds to physically assault and rape her. To that extent, in a moment of sheer panic, she grabs some scissors that have fallen on the floor and kills him. Meanwhile, news reports begin surfacing about multiple rapes occurring on the streets of Tokyo and the rest of Japan. The scene then shifts to a young woman named "Momoko" (Saya Kobayashi) being raped by a doctor while she had been hospitalized for an injury. Hearing her screams, a nurse by the name of "Nozomi" (Alice Ozawa) rushes in and kills the doctor before leading her to a place of refuge. To their surprise, when they finally arrive, they are immediately accosted by Kanae and another woman named "Tamae" (Yui Aikawa) who insist that, since Momoko had been raped, she must be killed before this virus has a chance to cause harm to them. Fortunately, Nozomi forcefully rejects that notion by threatening to kill one of them unless they put down their weapons. From that point on, the four of them remain in their secluded refuge until they can decide what to do next. Now, as one might expect from a movie of this type, this film consists of a number of graphic scenes filled with sex, violence and gore. That said, viewer discretion is strongly advised. I should also note that there is also a great amount of satire toward Japanese cultural issues as well. Be that as it may, although I wasn't generally impressed with this movie, I must say that I was extremely disappointed with the ending and I have rated this film accordingly. Below average.

Rape Zombie: Lust Of The Dead 1-5.

When women are getting mass raped by a horde of Zombies, the movies have gotta be on some kinda list. Right? Unfortunately, trying to read the frenetically paced subtitles in the opening exposition of the first movie is nearly impossible and overwhelming. Then the movie takes a while before it lives up to it's name; but in the end, it does. It did manage to keep my attention, though. And you've really got to admit, getting raped by Zombies wouldn't be nearly as bad as being eaten alive by Zombies, so really, this is more of a win/win compromise in the whole world of Zombies thing; let's just be honest about that.

Now there has to be a reason they managed to get 5 movies financed, right? From the second movie and on, the producers seem to understand that if you're gonna make promises, don't dally around, just get to it. Seriously, nobody watched this movie hoping for shower scenes. (Or at least I didn't.)

You can dig around in my huge collection of movie lists by clicking my name.

If you think that this one was bad, just remember.... THEY MADE 4 MORE OF THESE!!! They have to get better right? RIIIIIGHHT?????? I mean that have to have been populare in japan since they made 5 of theswe movies. I will take the plunge so the rest of you do not hoave to suffer and watch the next 4. No guarntee I will still be alive after i make it though All 5 but hell hasn't frozen over yet.

Also if they do them in the butt, and you know do their thing, does that kill them? Or in the mouth?

The wors part of this movie is the dang camera shaking alkl over the place. Oh and the terrive makeup and cornsyrup blood!

So amm I watched it and at first I was really annoyed for some reason but later it came to a fun moment FOR ME when I enyojed it.
