Ooru naito rongu 2

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.

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!!!

I've seen the movie in its original Japanese Version so some details of the Story maybe haven't got through to me. But, and this warning is real honest, All night long 2 is far the meanest movie I have seen to date. A Japanese Student is bullied by a group under the leading of an homosexual and misogynistic Psycho, who is sort of in love with him. The Student is forced to a dinner with the leader of the gang. For entertainment the Gangleader tortures an eventually kills a young girl, held captive in his apartment. Via Internet the terrorized student gets help from chatmates but the gang shows up for a very intense showdown. The "Atrocity" is more on the psychological side. No one in this flick is without it. The Theme of sexual abuse and murder for fun and pure entertainment is strong stuff and its never been displayed in this intelligent and evil kind before.

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.
