pronins Imagine a completely messed up family where the daughter is a prostitute who even has sex with her own father, the father himself is sexually repressed after having been severely humiliated, the son is being bullied every day and resorts to extreme violence against his mother in order to release his built up aggression, and the mother turns into a heroin addict in order to deal with the physical and emotional pain... At first glance, one can assume that there are no redeeming features about this family and absolutely no way to improve their situation. Suddenly, a strange man (obviously a metaphor for family values) comes into their lives by hitting the father with a big rock on the head and then bringing him home for dinner. The events that follow involve necrophilia, murder and other acts of violence and bizarre sexual interactions. Even though the movie is somewhat extreme, it never feels over the top to me, since the family is already so messed up that the way to fix the situation is definitely beyond counseling... And, in the end, the film turns even somewhat sentimental. I must say that this is a serious film presented in a rather simplified format, which makes it accessible to a larger audience. It delivers a message regarding the importance of family values and is definitely worth watching. Just be open minded.

MovieGuy01 I have just watched Miike Takashi' film Visitor Q, tonight, and i think that it is one of the most insane and disturbing films that i have ever seen, since Ichi The Killer another of Miike's films I almost found it too shocking to watch parts of it because of the film content. It is about a father, who is a former television reporter who is trying to make a documentary about violence and sex among youths in Japan. He has sex with his daughter who is a prostitute. There are some really disturbing sences in this film where his son beats up his mom, who is also a prostitute and also a heroin addict, and has to inject herself everyday."Q" a strange man comes and lives with the family but before he injures the father by hitting him in the head with a large stone, who he later becomes friends with. It is hard to explain how insane this film is. I would recommend this film only to people who are able to watch such disturbing images. But i thought that it was still a fantastic film. 7/10

Boba_Fett1138 I don't like all of Takashi Miike's movies but I found this one to be pretty enjoyable, despite it being quite an odd movie. But well, that's just Miike's thing, so be sure what to expect before watching this.Miike's handles all kind of different styles and themes and blends them together into this movie. It has lots of crazy characters, a bunch of violence and also a large amount of sex and nudity this time. This gets all combined with its absurd story, that strengthens all of its other themes, making this an odd as well as an unique viewing experience.Despite all of its heavy visual themes, with violence and sex, the movie is above all things also strangely entertaining to watch. Miike puts in his trademark comedy, that often makes this movie a light and pleasant watch, despite all of the heavy things that are happening on screen. He knows to put in the comical touches at the right place and at the right time.Of course it often is a hard movie to understand and follow because of all of its unusual themes and not so every-day common characters. It therefore also really isn't a movie for just everybody but if you are willing to give this movie a change with a clear mind and don't try to think too much about it all, until afterward when things start to seem to make more sense to you, changes are you might end up enjoy watching this movie.It's a movie that gets better as it progresses. At first it all is one big blur to you but later on things start to clear up more and you're able to understand some of it's themes and intentions of Miike. Everything starts to come together to you and suddenly what normally seems strange now seems perfectly normally, once you're drawn into Miike's world.A movie worth giving a go.7/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

SidewinderSMR It's a damn pity you can't give movies negative scores, because that's exactly what this movie deserved.Involuntarily forced to watch the film, I was first faced with the question "When does it start?" followed immediately by "When does it end?". The plot is nonexistent, and the movie is simply a copy-pasting of violent and disturbing scenes together. It might be fun to watch as a comedy while hopped up on something, but other than that, you'd have more fun and gain more from slitting your wrists and soaking yourself in a hot-tub for the hour plus that the film takes to complete.Kuso. Or crap, in Japanese.
