In this japanese cyberpunk, two “scientists” use drugs and torture for “scientific” reasons. 91min imdb
Recap:
So there are two scientists (one mad, one evil) and a depraved nurse who use a mix of drugs and torture to either give their victims psychic powers or kill them. Because of their incompetence their funder sends his assistant to tell them that they’re fired. So the scientists go all in and drug and torture both their last surviving human guinea pig and the assistant. Trouble is that they now succeed and can not stand up to the powers that they unleashed.
Well, since japanese cyberpunk seems to be mostly about body horror and fear of technology, shot in b&w and with an artsy attitude, I shall say that this movie is pretty well done. It is very impressive and a morbid fun to watch. Much unlike the first two movies of this kind that I watched, this time I was quite able to follow the plot. I don’t know if others will say that this means that the movie is not artsy enough, but speaking strictly for me, I very much like to understand the story. However this movie does not have theoverwhelming look that Tetsuo has, so I guess I recommend to watch this one first for the story and then Tetsuo for the visuals.
