New



New Japanese Gore (NJG). The chainsaws only stop when they are cluttered with too many guts. I posted some of this stuff before just for the hilarious fun. When you are into New Japanese Gore this is a special movie for you.

I just found this strange and arty 45 min. movie that looks like nothing else done before. It is a sort of TMO (the-making-of). It is also a kind of documentary. It has scenes from the movie, it has original scenes, it is visually attractive, language and subtitles are virtually absent, special effects are nice, a piece of art on its own.
And it is all about the 2008 movie 'Tokyo Gore Police' (TGP).

This art house type of docu gives you some deeper insight (by means of art) in the visual grammar of New Japanese Gore. The Slasher genre is lifted to a higher level. And (cinematographically speaking) it is all 'tastefully' done with high production standards.

Correction: The only 'deeper insight' is that these people are fully devoted into making great gory movies and having a lot of fun in the process.

The special effects look quite simple but effective and innovative (and are really over the top); fountains of blood, so you need an umbrella (literally), heads, faces and limbs are cut off (vertically and horizontally) with chainsaws and nasty sharp Japanese swords. The blood-splattering on the camera-lens was new to me.

Another feature of these movies is the tormented-woman-avenger. Women are still the victims (in the beginning) but then take their revenge in an overwhelming way.



I posted The (2008) Machine Girl before;
- Here are the first 5 minutes of the movie (with English subs).
- There seems to be a Part-II that I will hunt later.



The title of this (45 min. 740 MB.) .avi refers to the 63-rd minute of the 'Tokyo Gore Police' movie;
- 63 Minutes Later - part1.rar
- 63 Minutes Later - part2.rar



I posted Tokyo Gore Police (2008) before. It is near-cult and probably the defining movie for many more to come from Tokyo Shock;
- Just a great TGP trailer.
- The auto-mutilation ad is crazy sarcastic.

Enjoy
