PSYCHO: THE SNUFF REELS is another sick, super-extreme Japanese gore film. This review will all be a spoiler - there is no story to the film. Also, there was no English audio or subtitles, but I don't think I missed much because of that... Two people are brought in to make a porn video. They do their thing for a while (of course, all the hardcore action is pixelated...) and then they take a break. When they come back, they tie up the girl and have some BDSM type of play, but the chick isn't really digging having dildos shoved in her ass. When they try to give her an enema, she flatly refuses. They take another break, and when she isn't looking, she's hit in the head with a baseball bat. When she wakes up, she's tied to the bed. Someone cuts her foot off and then her arm. They cut her tongue up with some sort of shears then cut a hole in her stomach and play with her intestines. The male porn actor then f!cks her in her gut wound. Then they smash her in the face with a meat cleaver. When that's done, one of the film crew hits the guy over the head and knocks him unconscious also. They cut his nuts off, and that's pretty much it.
This film won't really appeal to any normal person as entertainment. It is definitely sick and disgusting, and is the whole reason I sought this film out, so on that level I was not disappointed. The fact that there is no story at all makes it less enjoyable. I know it's supposed to come off as a snuff film, but it's obviously not real. The tongue scene is obviously fake as are the other gore scenes, but the special effects are decent and it is still VERY rough. Only recommended to fans of AUGUST UNDERGROUND or perhaps FLOWER OF FLESH AND BLOOD or DEVIL'S EXPERIMENT from the GUINEA PIG series. 6/10
