Ooru naito rongu 2

The second part of the ALL NIGHT LONG trilogy is a truly Sadean film. Every character is subjected to appalling humiliation and torture, inflicted for the gratification of the torturers. The only comparable Western picture is SALO O LE 120 GIORNATE DI SODOMA. But where Pier Paolo Pasolini's movie is a political allegory, writer-director Katsuya Matsumura focuses on his characters. He's interested in what drives them, why some are predators and others victims, and how certain victims ultimately become predators.

A gang's protection racket victimizes a high-school student with whom the gang leader becomes obsessed. The leader makes every effort to seduce the

student. When his advances are rebuffed, the leader tries to force the student into acts of degradation and violence. The student's friends are also captured and brutalized. The leader's efforts are finally successful: the student becomes every bit as savage as his tormentors.

ALL NIGHT LONG 2 is exceptionally graphic, with explicit and realistic depictions of every outrage, but what makes the movie so disturbing is the believability of the characters. All of the cast delivers powerful and convincing performances, although many of them (like most of the technical crew) didn't allow their real names to be used in the credits.

Certainly not for all audiences, OORU NAITO RONGU 2: SANJI is nonetheless seriously-intentioned, and amongst the most effective studies ever of the darkest recesses of humanity.

Katsuya Matsumura's "All Night Long 2",known also as "Atrocity" is perhaps the most extreme in the series.The film appears to have been shot on video(like the "Guinea Pig" films).The main protagonist of the film is a young Japanese boy called Shinichi,but this time the other main character is an evil,misogynistic and homosexual sadist!The maniac and his gang of sadistic hoodlums have been harassing Shinichi.Shinichi makes some internet friends who he hopes will help him to escape the gang's attentions,but things don't work out quite that way.As in "All Night Long"(1992),the film ends in a sadistically explicit bloodbath!Some reviewers compare "All Night Long 2" to Pasolini's "Salo"(1975)and I think that such comparisons are pretty close and realistic.Still "All Night Long 2" is much more brutal and disturbing than "Salo"-the violence seen in it is extremely graphic and sadistic.The utter degradation of a young Japanese girl is especially hard to stomach.She is tortured,abused and reduced to an animal state.Anyway this film is extremely dark and nihilistic,but if you're a fan of Japanese extreme horror give this one a look.10 out of 10.

This film is extremely similar to a hardcore porn: scanty set decoration (80 % of "Atrocity" takes place in a lonely appartement...) and a thin plot. And as a porn movie jumps from one sex scene to the next this flick does the same with gore. Nevertheless the second installment of the gruesome "All Night long"-series is quite worth watching, because the characters are all well-developed and if you like extreme cinema and you´ve nerves of steel will surely have fun with it. Similar to "I Spit on your Grave" there´s no music brought on to make the shocking scenes of brutal rape and killing even more disturbing! If you´re into mainstream horror: stay far far away!!! However, if you like extreme sickos: check this out as soon as possible!!!

So much is said about the All Night Long trilogy that I started searching them. I found the trilogy at a sell out at a video library, just payed 6 euro's for it. Was I lucky. After watching part one 1 I wasn't really into the movie, it let me down for some parts. But was I happy that I kept watching and plugged part 2 into the player. This one is so much better. Again, not a typical J-horror. This time it's a gang of gays that go for rape and murder. And this time it really happens on screen. It's all about gore and sexual depravity. A girl is kept captive just for pleasure and is treated like a dog. A bit like the movie Salo. For the easy offended there are homosexual love acts on screen but also a girl being raped full nude by the gang and another must make love to herself in a bath while everybody is watching. But it is the last 15 minutes that the gore comes alive. I've watched the strong uncut version, 76 minutes in stead of the usual 68 minutes. Not for everybody but for the freaks out there.

ATROCITY- the second installment in the ALL NIGHT LONG trilogy is better on every level than the previous installment. It has the same basic premise of an outcast/nerd thrown into a situation beyond his control - but ATROCITY takes it to the next level. A nerdy high-schooler is bullied by a gang of small-time hoods. The gay leader of the gang takes a "special" interest in the poor dork, and shows him how much fun it can be to be the aggressor for a change. The gang keeps bullying the kid and some new-found friends until he can no longer take it, and flips the f**k out. The requisite murder and mayhem ensue... ATROCITY is gorier, grittier and more "shocking" than Part 1 of the trilogy. It can still be a little slow moving at times, but not nearly as much as Part 1. Once it gets going, the red stuff really flies and by the end it's pretty much an all-out bloodbath. If you bought the set and were disappointed with Part 1 - don't give up yet, ATROCITY and THE FINAL CHAPTER (part 3) are better and definitely worth a look. ATROCITY is probably the bloodiest of the 3, but THE FINAL CHAPTER is the most whacked-out, and definitely keeps up in the gore race. Recommended 8/10
