Ooru naito rongu

All Night Long (1992) is a dark and twisted film following three Japanese school mates. One day one of their girl friends is brutally tortured and raped by a gang of sick individuals. The three friends can't take it any more and begin to plot away to avenge their friend. But will the path to vengeance also lead to insanity? Can the friends help each other out in this darkest hour?

This has to be one of the most deranged films I have ever seen in awhile. But this film was nothing compared to the movies that soon followed. Dude, this film makers has a more skewed vision of the world than I do and that's saying something. If you like gutter level revenge flicks (Like I do) then look no further. Kind if hard to find but keep on looking. I don't think anyone can view all three films in one sitting.

Rated X and it shows!

Recommended for fans of this genre. Others definitely need not apply.

the ALL NIGHT LONG trilogy is a strange set of films. All 3 films tend to center around a character/characters who are kinda outcasts and socially awkward. All 3 films have the similar basic premise of a single or group of nerds/outcasts/weirdos who are subjected to some overwhelming stimulus that makes them freak the f**k out. I personally felt that Part 1 of the trilogy is the weakest, but still a decent film. It centers around 3 teenagers who witness a random and brutal murder, and then form a friendship based on their mutual experience. They then decide to throw a party where they each have to bring a girl - and this part of the plot is what holds Part 1 back and makes it a little slow. The whole party idea could have been left out, and I think it would have made the film sleaker and less dull. Anyway...only 1 of the 3 boys has any real luck finding a date, but on the way to the party, the boy is beaten and the girl is raped. The kid freaks out, goes to his other 2 friends, and decides to hunt the rapists down. Of course, the usual bloody revenge follows. The gore in this installment of ALL NIGHT LONG is relatively understated and takes a little too long to get there. The ending is decent but I was expecting a little more. Like some of the other reviewers, I felt there were definitely some slow moving areas and some plot lines that didn't really belong - but all-in-all a decent film. Parts 2 and 3 are better, and since you can now get all 3 dirt cheap as a box set from certain on-line retailers - might as well grab 'em all. Not as shocking as some have said, but still not for casual viewers... 7/10

After searching for some extreme Asian horror movie on IMDb this movie pop up and it been a long time since i watched a J-horror flick but after 90 minutes i finally realize how wrong i am.The movie have good start with characters i can relate too and there are strong performance thought out the movie but the rest is a complete trainwreck.The whole movie is just a bunch of random events smash together try to make sense but it executed so poorly.There three Japanese guy befriend with each other after witness a bizarre murder.I really care about these guys and want to know more about their live but the more the story go the more nonsense it become.I understand the movie goal is to show us audience the cold hard truth of reality but the way it approach is lazy as hell.The last 30 minutes of this movie is just simply mindless violence it seem like they don't know what to do next with the plot so they just show as much as gory disturbing stuff they can imagine and hope the audience sympathy with characters.If you interested with this movie feel free to check out the whole series by the same director

What starts off as a potentially disturbing movie gets caught up in itself and trips over its own feet. 3 kids are brought together after witnessing a senseless murder and form a pseudo friendship - Soon after, things slowly start to fall apart for each of them - throwing the entire movie into a disarray of confusion. Not as shocking as many claim it to be (in fact - I thought the horrible sequel to Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer left more of an impact than this Asian 'horror' movie) * out of ****

It seems that this film is mainly destined to teen audiences, because the leads are young adults. It is a social drama disguised in a horror film, that's my analysis; a vitriolic portrait of Japanese youth thru those grown up kids. It is not an European film, no matter the actors, it is sometimes totally f...up in the making of scenes, bloody, brutal, bitter and funny a few seconds later. Not for Western audiences anyway, except the die hard fans of Asian cinema and Japanese in particular. But it is not too long, only ninety minutes, and it makes things a lot easier for me. This is not a crime film, my real cup of tea concerning Rising Sun country films. It is bearable however, and it is also the first movie of a series. Without me though.
