Abhay Shiravanthe The story line makes no sense. The movie is sick and disgusting. It doesn't make sense to watch this movie; I don't know why I did though :(It is not exactly a horror movie. Nothing in this movie will actually scare you. It is like watching a sick psychopath massacre innocent people.I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone.This movie made me realize that even Japanese people are into such kinds of useless things; I always assumed Japanese have a rich culture and all that.

Maz Murdoch (asda-man) It's funny because if Grotesque wasn't banned in the UK then I don't think I would have bothered watching it. No one would probably have even heard of Grotesque if the BBFC slapped an 18 certificate on it, but because they refused it has turned into something of a cult hit. It's a curiosity piece for connoisseurs of carnage but those looking to get truly disturbed are likely to be disappointed. I don't quite understand the reasons for the ban as Grotesque shows us nothing that we haven't seen before. In fact, it's so over-the-top in its ideas and execution that it's more likely to illicit laughs from viewers more than anything.If you look at Kôji Shiraishi's earlier found footage horror, Noroi: The Curse then you'll find an expertly executed chiller that relies on atmosphere and imagery to produce genuine scares. Grotesque is pretty much the opposite to Noroi. I can't believe it's made by the same director as Noroi which is quite possibly the scariest film I have ever experienced. The only thing scary about Grotesque is how bad it is. To sum it up, it's two people in a room getting tortured by a psychopathic doctor. They were just walking back from their first date and a crazy man bops them on the head and they have to sexually excite him with their will to survive.It's a terribly thin plot which only the thick and the psychotic would appreciate. Somehow though it isn't as boring as it sounds. It's only 70 minutes long but even still, a film set in one room with only three characters could easily drag, but Grotesque zips along quite merrily. This is the only redeeming quality of the film, it's never boring. But maybe that's because I was just waiting to see how far my cringe threshold could take. I won't spoil anything, but I was thrashing about like a that's sheep about to get sheared in a scene which involved an eye. I hate eyes and this scene is almost up there with Zombie Flesh Eaters.It's just a series of gore scenes really and I have to say that the special effects are very good. The acting was also better than I was expecting, with the doctor being particularly menacing and convincing. It's also pretty well-made for the most part, although parts did look very amateur. In the end though Grotesque is just a pointless exercise in shock. It ends up being so melodramatic and ridiculous though that it just becomes funny. Grotesque is worth one watch if you're curious and a hardened horror nut. Most people will know what their getting themselves into and at least there's more entertainment value in this than seriously sick stuff like the Guinea Pig and Slaughtered Vomit Dolls films. This one does have a dark sense of humour but the plot is non-existent and the characters are un-investable. The amount of gore and depravity is quite shocking at times but even still it's almost instantly forgettable as soon as the credits roll.

Marty First, I would like to say that I understand that this is a love story in disguise. It shows what pain one would go through for the other.Now that that's out of the way, this movie is awful. There's hardly a back story or really anything presented about the characters at all. We know the killer is a doctor (I can't recall which kind) and the couple works together. That's all we know. On top of that, there's not much of a story either. The couple gets tortured by a psychotic killer who gets sexually excited through torturing people. Whatever happened to plot development?The violence is stupid, pointless, and in the ending scene, completely ridiculous. If all you care about is seeing people go through extreme pain, go and watch this movie, because that's all that's there. Most people I've heard try to justify the violence in this movie say something like "BUT DIS IS LUV STURRY ND IT HAZ DEEPIR MEENING". If you've actually been paying attention to the little information you've been given in the beginning of the movie, you wouldn't think there's a deeper meaning at all. Even if it was truly a deeper meaning, that doesn't make it good. The point of the violence is to show what some people will go through for another out of love. The topic of love isn't original after it's been brought up countless times in all forms of art for thousands of years.If you care about a movie having substance, or not wasting time out of your life you will never get back, don't watch this movie. You will regret it.

dushyant chaturvedi Expecting a plot in an exploitation flick is akin to a cardinal sin. this movie is no exception. two youngsters, who are on their first date are abducted by the sadist in the poster. the psychopath wants sexual release which he can get only by torturing the couple to death. with such superlative plot, the movie moves in the expected direction. the psychopath starts with sexually abusing the girl, then goes on to more innovative tortures like pinning the guy's balls to the table, chopping off the fingers and making a garland out of them, taking out the intestine.you must have got the general idea by now. so if you want to inflict some unforgettable punishment on your worst enemies, advice them to watch this flick. trust me they would become mortally afraid of you.
