Organ

After reading how violent this film was and that it had been banned even in Japan, I must admit I was excited about seeing it. After watching it multiple times, I still can't get much plot out of it. I got more from reading the back of the case than from the movie... As for the supposed over-the-top gore, I wasn't impressed. The effects are straight out of a Henenlotter or HG Lewis flick and there are more greens and yellows than red. I saw nothing so offensive that it would need to be censored. Visually, the film was interesting, with very vibrant colors. Is it violent and perverse? Yes. Is it as bloody as it's billing? No. I think it was an incoherent mess, comparable to "Tetsuo".

If you want to see a bizarre film then you can't do any worse than this quickie from japan, this film resembles the likes of Brain Damage and Videodrome. The music will stick in your head long after the film has finished.

If you are seeking the japaneese David Lynch then look no further than the director of Organ

Ultra-auteur (writer, director, DP & star) Kei Fujiwara takes a bold step into a bloody landscape where Cronenburg drops acid with Lynch as D. Argento serves up livermush sandwiches to the late Mr. Fulcio.

Fine. Unfortunately she forgot to bring along some extra flashlights to brighten up her plethora of grainy, murky scenes, and pack a script that was at least halfway finished before production commenced. Not so fine.

Engrossing in some scenes, but infuriatingly obtuse throughout, ORGAN needs at least SOME sort of linear spine to hang its meat hooks on (and more violence would to boot). While watching the film, one senses that many scenes could have been cut in any order, and it still wouldn't affect the narrative much. Sigh. Still, it's required viewing for any blind dates, or first-time meetings with a potential mother-in-law!

Well, the first thing about Organ is, that you should not try to understand the storyline too much. This movie is extra-strange yet lives of its trashy and bizarre pictures. If you like purulent ulcerations exerbating and real weird erotics - it is the real thing for you. Don't expect a pure splatter movie but a picture with intense horror... To the story (as well as I can tell it): a biologist with a big mutation (spicy) cuts out organs from dead and alive people to sell them. After locking up the brother of a cop (whom he cuts off his limbs and letting him alive for unknown purposes) he is chased by the cop. And that's it...the rest evolves... Now to the effects: real cool sometimes, but also trashy and funny, butterfly collections, birthings, slimy blood-dripping...yet not state-of-the-art. Nice soundtrack also. For a conclusion, it's a real bizarre japanese splatting horror movie you should not miss if you want it different. I rate it a 7 of 10, but it has deserved a 10 for cult-factor.

I really like this movie. I think it's really artful but also disturbing. In fact I understand that some people don't like it because the movie is hard to understand, and it has so much story in it, that I can't make a summary. Also is the Japanese filmgenre very different from the American and Europe cinema, and not all people like this. But this is really a must see for fans of movies like Pi, Tetsuo or Tetsuo II. It got all in it, dream scenes, disturbing gore scenes, a good soundtrack and a bad atmosphere, because everything in the movie is dirty, cold, ugly and brutal. So if you like to watch something different then a mainstream Hollywood movie you have to get this cool journey to the insane world of Kei Fujiwara
