Zombie Ass: The Toilet of the Dead

There are weird Japanese movies...Than there is Noboru Iguchi movies. His movies seems to get more messed up with each installments. Movies like this show that just because a movie is weird and grotesque doesn't equal a cool or entertaining flick. Iguchi was a porn director before making these exploitation flicks and it really shows in this one. With constant fetishes from farting, pooping, things coming in and out of the anus, mouth and eye balls. Oh and tentacle rape. And also has crap covered zombies, high school girls that know karate, sexual harassment dudes, skanky girls, parasites, crazy scientist, and some psycho school girl. So yeah it combines messed up exploitation stuff in one movie. Yeah, it's messed up and gross but I didn't feel like I was amused or entertained or found anything that happen in this flick to be cool. Some audiences that are into these fetishes might like it though.

3.6/10

Rather than looking at the title of this flick and thinking "oh, another stupid American style zombie flick", you should definitely be considering this as a Japanese action/gore/over the top madness flick. If you've seen this director's other films (Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police), then you know exactly what you're getting into. Blood, gore, fecal matter, tapeworm zombies, farting, more fecal matter, spinning tapeworm heads, kung fu fighting.... etc. You get it.

Personally, I love these Tokyo Shock flicks for all they're worth. Some folks will certainly hate this stuff, cuz frankly, most Tokyo Shock is absolutely bizarre and weirdly fetishistic. But hey, if you can't laugh at some tentacle rape and ridiculous farting tapeworm zombies, why are you even here? Lighten up, have some fun and pop in a good ol' fashioned Japanese Shock Action flick like this and laugh a bit.

Wracked with guilt over the suicide of her bullied sister, young karate student Megumi accompanies four older friends on a trip into the woods: smart girl Aya, her druggie boyfriend, model Maki, and nerdy Naoi. Things start to go badly when Maki finds a parasitical worm inside a fish -- and wolfs it down, in the hope that it will keep her skinny.

If you liked the outhouse scenes in "Dead Snow", you will love "Zombie Ass" -- because there is fecal matter everywhere, flatulence used as jet propulsion, gratuitous butt crack... this is the sort of silly awesomeness that only Japan can bring.

We get this gem from director Noboru Iguchi, best known for "The Machine Girl". If you liked "Machine Girl", you will probably like this one, too. I mean, geez, it is zombies and poop... and then it gets weird.

Quite a fun little comedy/horror, which is not really one of my favourite genres. There are so many hilarious one-liners in this one that it's hard to keep track of them all. The CGI isn't the greatest but I thought the practical effects were really well done.

Tons of gore are present and there is a scene which seems to pay homage to Evil Dead 2, as well as one that might be the best shishkebab scene since Happy Birthday To Me.

All in all it's quite a fun ride, and if you're not already a fan of parasitic zombie ass horror, this might be the movie that changes your mind. Oh, and there's also the Japanese schoolgirl nudity as well. 8/10

If you have watched Tokyo Gore Police and Machine Girl this is similar in its extreme. There's blood like those other two films, but this one is far more gross. As the title suggests, there are special effects that are pretty graphic. I don't recommend you eat before this film if you have a weak stomach. There are a few good fight scenes but they do not redeem the film enough. Of course, its not supposed to be real, but it borders on being disgusting. I give credit to the Japanese for being inventive enough to go to these kind of extremes, but this film is a bit too much to handle. I think teens, early 20's people who like zombie films that are out there may find this worth watching but it is not for mass appeal.
