Rezubian reipu: Amai mitsujû

A pair of sexual maniacs are using experimental new drugs to rape,torture and kill the innocent girls that arouse them.Will a woman on the inside of the pharmaceutical company making them take them down or join in their debauchery?"Lesbian Rape:Sweet Honey Juice" is no different than the other fetishistic and dark pinku eigas made by Hisayasu Sato.There is plenty of rape and sexual abuse in this one as well as some nasty use of test tube and a liquid gun.Though Satō's style seems to have softened somewhat as the 1990s progressed he was still capable of producing such works as "Naked Blood" (1996) which contains infamous scene of the woman mutilating and eating her breast and vagina lips.

This is one of my least favorite Sato films-- it's actually more linear and coherent than his other early 90s films, but that makes the content more boring. Also, the casting is all off; Sato is usually wonderful at casting his films, but here everyone felt wrong for the part.

Sato is still able to give us a few great compositions, with the use of mentioned glass silencer and lizards in another user review, but there are too few. None of the sex is particularly interesting, not erotic nor morbidly fascinating. As I write about this film more, I realize I'm not even sure why I gave it 3 stars. Perhaps there are themes I liked in the film, such as our lesbian antagonist and effeminate rapist wanting to explore queer issues at the films core, but they aren't handled in any sort of hard panache Sato usually brings to the table. In fact, the film ends up seeming like a Sato imitation.

A sort of broken love triangle. Man in love with a woman who is a lesbian who is in love with another woman who doesn't love anyone. The man has a gun with a glass silencer and uses it to rape women.

It is a very weak story. Very weak characters. Neither the script nor Director Hisayasu Satõ seemed to put much thought into this film. This movie also has a kind of melancholy mood to it. Not a hint of excitement or anything upbeat.

It is a Pink Eiga film. Several sex scenes or nudity. Nothing even remotely explicit. Most are far from erotic and not all were rapes scenes.

I really would not recommend this movie to anyone. Not even to fans of Hisayasu Satõ.
