KentaroK Naked Blood is one of those films that makes you wonder just what Japanese (an Asian) cinema film-makers are drinking. Perhaps the same thing that those folks at Id in Texas were drinking (you know, when they made Doom and Quake).Anyhow, geo-political pre-judice asside (and I am totally kidding about it, okay?), this movie is excellent as a B-movie. It is engrossing and continues to take unexpected turns.Unfortunately, some parts of it are not explained very well, if at all, and it could be accused of being totally pointless. Some people claim that they see more on re-watching it, but, those people are just drinking something strange.Unlike an A-movie like Pi (the Greek symbol), Momento, or Sixth Sense, this movie won't be improved much by multiple watchings. Yes, they are some subtle things but they are also huge holes which simply can't be filled, except with imagination.The story ... I don't know if to say that it ended ... or that it was more of a dissolving into nether. That might work for those who believe in Mugen Afterlife (i.e. transition to nothingness after death, metaphorically embodied in a story in which there is no implied ever after, but rather, a dissolving of the entire framework and the characters that comprise it), but for the average domestic / Western / non-nihilist person, we'd like to know that the characters lived happily (or even sadly, or painfully, or tragically) ever after....So, overall, 7 / 10: Solid B movie, but, too weird (both plot-wise and in content) for most people.

stormruston This movie has a strange softness to it between scenes of intense violence. It is sur-real and over the top.It is a dream-like movie.Hisayasu Sato added a real story to this one, well a start and a end of a story, just not a beginning and a finish..but who cares?Do people watch these for the story or the shock value? Shock value here is about 90%.The Story is interesting but has holes, at 78 minutes that is not surprising. The effects are amazing. This is a movie for gore fans and those that like "weird but inoffensive." Not really worth looking for unless you are a collector.. but if you find it do watch it.One strange flaw was the over the top sound effects, I have never heard a nipple "crunch" until this movie.

IMDB_Is_A_Troll_Surfboard I'd expected this movie to be over the top goorfest, but has just enough body decapitation to satisfy the most demented fans. A scientist invents a new pain killer to use on his mother's patient. The rest is pretty much how the side effects really take in effect! Make plans on watching this movie late night when your body is numb and relaxed to a point that a tranquilized horse can't move. Don't bring any bed time snacks while watching this flick because you'll end up vomiting in your own bed and vomit some more. It isn't a horror film but more off a shock value, and it does shock indeed. Make sure you pick up the Discotek's R1 USA DVD.

Ed Cowell NAKED BLOOD is one of those movies that go way too far, showing the viewer things they don't want to see with no apology whatsoever. I had heard how extreme it was and wanted to see it. I was not disappointed, because there's an actual story happening here, not just mindless gore. Not that there's anything wrong with mindless gore...I just wasn'tprepared for the film to be so thought-provoking and beautiful.
