 "Under The Skin". The Alien who has come to earth in the form of a beautiful seductress to kill young men and farm their flesh. You're either going to love it or hate it! I...LOVED IT! The scene on the beach that some people have been talking about is like they say.. BONE CHILLING. I don't really want to repeat what the reviewers say but after you see this thing you're there in your seat and it's like...I've never ever seen anything like this before and you're thinking and thinking about it. You can see in the first photo that she's thinking about killing some poor guy.

The truly disturbing part is that for some this concept is a 'turn on', personally I don't get off on hot chicks wanting to kill me.....but hey ho!.....I'm just an old dinosaur.

Not at all a turn on. Not what I meant. I think what you take away from it in the end is who is worse.... her or the humans. Even when she's naked you're actually feeling more disturb about what she's doing to her victims than paying any attention to her body. But after she picks up one person she's starts to feel a sort of empathy and confussion starts to bring her down. This is why it's so interesting.

ooooh I don't think it's a matter of age mate, you'd be surprised by how many "old dinosaurs" like a bit of "choky-choky" action with hot chicks  :fool:

I know what you're talking about Bongo.

 

There's a lot of strange fetishes out there, but 'Vore' is one of the few things on the Internetz that managed to genuinely shock me.

 

Great to hear, that the movie is good. Will definately be watching it, when I get the chance.

Part of me agrees with you, the other part thinks it's all part of an evolution design bigger than our understanding  ;)

A clip. Her partner, another Alien man who zooms around on a motorcycle has found the man that she had sympathy for and killed him. By the look on her face I have guessed she senses this and at this moment decides to quit killing and it is the beginning of her downfall.

Any acts of human kindness have her totally befudled. Then when she finally is addapting..sort of..... she runs into a tipical human "Bad Guy" and you really feel sorry for her in the end.

I wish I hadn't googled that.......as if things aren't bad enough but then to combine it with paedophilia in cartoons.....I'd better sell my firearms because I just want to put my mouth over the barrel.

I must admit (feeling extremely guilty about it) that I read, and enjoyed "Tokyo Red Hood", which kinda falls in in the pedo-guro genre. That's about the most f'ed up thing I have ever voluntarily read through.

I don't think you have anything to worry about with us bongodriver. I have just loved movies since I was a small kid especially anything that took some thought or imagination  :)  These big movies that Hollywood produces now a days are pretty much remanufatured popcorn chewing eye candy money making machinery imo. This movie might just become a cult classic.

Nobody eats anybody   GASP! There's way more killing and blood in one of those Stalone pictures than tis thing. The only time you see any blood is a line of blood going down a funnel

S!

 

 Looks like one to watch. Last one I bought as DVD was "Europa Report", was quite good.

There's not blood in the American gods scene either. The guy gets consumed nevertheless.

Seriously? How could I resist Googling something that someone specifically suggested that I do not Google? :lol: You were so right, though.... :o:

don't see the appeal. i think a lot of the positive reviews come from mass psychology more than anything.

 

and that video you showed, is that supposed to be "bone chilling"?

 

please explain, thank you.

I don't think it would really count as paedophilia though. Apparently the age of consent in Japan is 13. Still, all the sexualised stuff in Corpse Party is just gratuitous. When it's focusing on the horror and gore, it's really good, and that's why I liked it. All the sexualised stuff just made me roll my eyes TBH.

I just think it's part of the human condition to be limitless in our curiosity, even when we know it's potentially harmful to us.

 

That's why we not only have cannibals but people volunteering to be eaten by them.

State sanctioning doesn't make it any less wrong, you can rest assured age of consent is not determined by those of the age group concerned, inevitably it is for the benefit of older people with unhealthy desires, I have no problem with the idea of two 13 year olds discovering things together, but bet your ass that's not the intention behind the state laws.

 

Anyway, whenever I see those Japanese cartoon jobs I feel very disturbed, they depict what is clearly children with those huge vulnerable looking eyes and tiny faces and always in school uniforms.....it's sick.

Anime does have a history of sexualising very young teenage characters. Sometimes it can be justified and serves a purpose for the plot. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a good example of this, and also did it in a sorta more tactful way.

Most of the time, however, it's just pure exploitation.

You guys are creeping me out with this off shoot on this weird subject. This movie deals with adults and there is no Zombie like feeding of flesh  :blink: I actually chuckle at zombie movies because they're not really my cup of tea...Not too deep imo. :)

Shocked by the look of guilt in her face? She let's him go. :)

Yeah, you have to wonder why they put stuff like that in these animes... they don't serve any purpose to the plot, and just detract from the horror element that this particular one, Corpse Party, has. At best it's eye-rollingly gratuitous, at worst it's 'call the SWAT teams now' disturbing :unsure:

 

If they cut all the stupid sexualisation out of Corpse Party, I'd be a lot happier. I enjoyed the anime, but all the sexualisation stuff, especially considering the age of the characters, really put me off.

BTW Bongo, I'm doing a review of Corpse Party, and in it I'm going to slam the gratuitous sexuality in it. If you don't mind, I'd like to use some of the stuff you said to help slam it.
