Watch Splatter: Naked Blood For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Memorable, crazy movie

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Before watching this movie I read many of the reviews that are here on IMDb. According to the majority of the reviews I read many people saw this is as a gore film with "intelligence". I have one thing to say to that....... ARE YOU KIDDING ME? This was a confusing mess with a poor attempt at a plot. The beginning of the film started out promising with a what seemed to a pretty straight forward story but as soon as things began to get interesting it veered off course and made absolutely no sense. There are several "goofs" in the film such as a slash wound that suddenly disappears after the fake blood has run down the skin. The only decent special effect in the movie was the eyeball removing scene. Everything else was just poorly done. My advice to any would-be watcher is don't waste your time.

"Splatter: Naked Blood"One of the better, simplistic formulas to shake the foundation of the genre in quite some time, has arrived. A few aspects that can be appreciated about "Splatter" are the minimal expenditures of plot twists. Director Hisayasu Sato( "Night of the Anatomical Doll", "Soft Skin") hides none of the script(written by Taketoshi Watari) behind any closed doors for the imagination to guess against. Every bit of this film is in plain view. As the film develops along its 76 min trek to absolution, no punches are pulled. What IS lacking in script writing, is made up in a major way in the special make up department. The world famous Yuichi Matsui (Kill Bill: Vol 1 & 2, The Ring I, II and IV, Audition, Imprint, Ichi the Killer and The Grudge I &II. Please don't make me go on, this guys resume is beyond world class.) circumnavigates the classic effects that made him famous, ranging from disgusting, imaginative, to vomit inducing!It's just one of those very simple films, budget is not extravagant, the story is not overly imaginative. The acting is decent, although the sound editing is great. You can hear every stab, gouge and slice in Dolby Stereo Surround. On the spectrum of short, time wise, there is a bit of a wait to get things rolling, however when the time is right and the meat of the story(or special effects) starts to develop....you know that saying..."when it rains.....it pours? Yeah....like that!A young scientist prodigy Eiji (Sadao Abe) is working on his latest experiment, a formula aptly named "MYSON" designed to relieve pain. He feels it is very close to completion and is ready for clinical trials. His mother Yuki (Masumi Nakao) is herself a scientist, specializing in fertility. As her son comes to visit her, she is in the middle of her own trials. Three women are currently involved in a contraceptive experiment. Eiji arrives and asks if he may sit in on his mothers work for a bit. She denies him and asks him to leave her to her work. The opportunity to share his medical breakthrough passes and while his mother is turned the other way, he reveals a vial of his formula and inserts it into the IV bags, unbeknown-st to his mother and the three women.These three women play a pivotal role in the film, their characters have very distinct attributes that make more sense later in the film. Girl #1 ( Plant Girl) has a 6 foot cactus in her apartment....yeah, kinda weird, however, maybe she is a plant lover! Well, NO( or maybe yes, just in a very odd, loving way). She just happens to have a virtual reality machine hooked up to the plant and to her(when she puts the head set on), so she can communicate with the plant, have virtual sex with it....yeah...really not sure why she has it set up to the cactus.Girl #2 ( Glutton Girl) She loves food, good food and all food she can get her mitts on. Girl #3 (Vain Girl) She loves designer clothes, looking her best at all times and of course looking at herself in the mirror.Our young Eiji follows his test subjects from a far, watching from building tops or a few blocks away, carefully observing their responses and effects to the "MYSON" cocktail.I thought this was a horror film with a great FX Director...where is all the good stuff at? I haven't seen a single drop of High Fructose Corn Syrup( I mean Blood)! Patience my young Pad-Wan; patience!Without giving away too much, I will issue a:*Mild Spoiler Alert*These girls have been subjected to an unknown, untested substance, with out their knowledge. This "MYSON" increases the secretion of endorphins' from the pituitary gland when pain is felt, giving the women increased pleasure when any pain is induced (or extreme body mutilation...let the gore begin).When the makeup effects arrive, they come wielding, kitchen utensils, cooking oil and much, much more! Yuichi's work can be seen in many Takashi Miike films and he generally doesn't disappoint. This is another occasion where you will get all of your money's worth.I'm compelled to tell you a small amount of what you can expect from the horrifically graphic, in full view scenes of "Splatter: Naked Blood". Scene #1: Glutton Girl cuts off her vagina......and......EATS IT!!! Scene #2: Glutton Girl sticks a fork in her eye, pulls it out, optic nerve and all....and....EATS IT!!Splatter is carried specifically on content. Nothing about the films writing is anything to get excited about. Anyone can write stick fork in eye..eat eye. Sure to the non-gore watching community, stomachs would be turning in knots, however enlist the expertise of master effects director Yuichi Matsui and those stomachs turn into empty ones. Not the best characterization and plot development, however, If shock is what you like; you must see this film, it was for me! When the good stuff rolled in, it was in tsunami like waves. Watch it!BruceVain

If Takashi Miike, director of extreme horrors Audition and Ichi the Killer, were to collaborate with Canadian body-shock auteur David Cronenberg, the result might look something like Hisayasu Sato's Naked Blood, a downright weird film with some very nasty scenes of explicit gore.Sadao Abe plays Eiji, a geeky 17 year old student genius who believes that he has discovered the answer to eternal happiness: his drug Myson, which triggers a massive increase in endorphin production when pain is experienced. In order to see if Myson works, he injects it into a trial contraceptive that his mother, a scientist, is about to test on three pretty volunteers.Whilst Eiji waits for Myson to take effect, he follows the girls around with a video camera, recording them as part of his experiment. One of the girls, Rika Mikami, spots him trailing her and confronts him. Eiji explains that he is the son of the scientist who has been treating her; this seems like a good enough reason to Rika for the lad's strange behaviour, and the two become friends.Then the film goes totally freaky, and not much else makes sense (unless you happen to be an advanced film student studying the history and psychology of Japanese Horror Cinema—which I'm not!).Rika reveals to Eiji that she is an insomniac who communicates with a cactus via a pair of headsets that can put you into a waking dream state; the other two girls begin to mutilate themselves in order to experience pleasure; we learn that Eiji's father believed he had found the answer to eternal life, and disappeared one day by walking into the sea; and Eiji discovers that Rika isn't quite the angel that she at first seemed to be.Sato directs his film at a very leisurely pace, and and those looking for a non-stop splatter-fest will no doubt be disappointed by a film that shares much more in common with avant-garde and transgressive cinema than out-and-out gore flicks.Don't switch off if you are a gore-hound, however: after a fair amount of chit chat and general weirdness, those seeking the juicy stuff will have their patience rewarded by some bloody realistic and truly nauseating effects, including really icky body-modification and scenes of self-cannibalisation. The make-up here is very realistic and unsettling; try not to wince as one girl repeatedly pushes a spike through her forearm, and the other hungry lass cuts off her 'beef curtains' for starters (without any horse-radish sauce), gouges out her eyeball for her main course, and removes her nipple with a knife for afters.There then follows some more strange stuff featuring Eiji's mother, who has her stomach opened up like a kit-bag by Rika, the return of Eiji's father (who crawls headfirst into Eiji's mother's gaping abdominal wound, closing it up neatly behind him!), some cyber-sex, more blood-letting, and a suitably bizarre ending which see Rika riding a motorbike towards the horizon, spraying a liquid (presumably Myson) into the air as she goes.A hard film to rate, since I didn't really understand what I was watching a lot of the time. However, given that it was never boring, and the impressive gore was well worth the wait, I think a 7/10 seems fair.*The other film to feature deep-fat-fried fingers was the excellent splatter epic The Machine Girl.

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.
