Guts Of A... Trilogy

Guts Of A... Trilogy

I noticed there wasn't a thread on this bunch of movies yet, so I decided to create one, since I picked up Guts Of A Beauty last week. It's the second entry in the series, but the first one I actually picked up, for a reason I can't exactly explain. In any case, from what I heard they were no-brainers anyway without any intertwining stories or relations to one another.

I immediately unwrapped the thing and started reading every single line of text on it ten times, which I always do when I pick something up with which I'm really happy. I couldn't help but notice to see the genre of this movie described as: Erotic Horror. Now I know erotic movies, and I know horror movies, but erotic horror was new to me.

What this movie WAS, was entertaining, most definitely. However, it pretty much left me wondering what I had just watched. Now, I have heard numerous people uttering the words 'What have I just watched?' after watching a slightly strange movie, but of course, none of them had ever seen this flick. I personally hadn't uttered that very line very often before, but now, well, I did.

*maybe a tiny bit of spoilers here, but it's not like the story is what you're watching it for or anything*

The story mainly revolves around a female psychiatrist, who happens upon the filthy business of a bunch of yakuza who sell girls to ??? (this indicates that I have no clue to who they're selling them, but I think it had something to do with South-Africa), after abusing them to the fullest. Our lovely psychiatrist tries to wipe out the sick bunch, but fails miserably and after getting killed, she returns as a hemaphrodite zombie with a monster penis and monster vagina, then goes off to kill and rampage, and kill some more.

*end of those spoilers*

Of course, I now finally know what Erotic Horror means: first ten minutes of erotic scenes, then a minute of horror, and repeating that for 70 minutes. And of course, hemaphrodite zombies with monster genitals. Whatever was meant to be erotic in this movie wasn't erotic, and whatever was meant to be gruesome wasn't gruesome, but all in all, this movie was very entertaining. I'd recommend it, but if you're easily offended, well, I don't. However, I guess I'll be picking up the rest of the series, too, as they're damned funny tbh.

Anyway, anyone else seen any of the movies (or all)? Opinions? Thoughts?

Gorn suits it pretty well, lol.

Anyway, I'm not seeing the Guts movies on the list (I don't know what 'Angel Guts The Nikkatsu Series' is supposed to be). The first entry was called Guts Of A Virgin, the second one Guts Of A Beauty, and the third one Guts Of A Virgin: Rusted Body. Sometimes they're reffered to as Entrails Of A Virgin (entry #1), Entrails Of A Beautiful Woman (entry #2), and Female Inquisitor/Guts Of A Virgin 3/Rusted Body/Rusted Body: Guts Of A Virgin III (entry #3) as well.

The Japan Shock releases are available at pokerindustries (I'm not promoting Japan Shock or anything lol, I just happen to stumble upon a lot of their releases here since they're a Dutch label) and they all have English subtitles; for those who want some gorn they're worth checking out.

Picked up another entry in the series today, Guts Of A Virgin (apparently the second entry after all, okay, I'm confused). Anyway, I might be watching it tonight, stay tuned for my opinion .

Well, I watched Guts Of A Virgin the other day, and it was, well, unique?

The plot's simple, anything but unique, cliché, and what-not; (minor spoiler possibility) a photo crew ends up in a house in the woods (for what reason? I don't know, really). On the way there they hit some thing, which immediately disappeared again though. In any case, being stuck in the house, some monster (the thing) with a giant phallus comes and terrorizes them.

Gorn? Hell yeah. Amusing? Moderately. I personally liked the first entry in the series, Guts Of A Beauty, better. However, that doesn't mean this one's bad. Or well, it's bad, but it's still fun, too. There's no real story, no development, some cliché characters, copious amounts of rape, a swamp thing with a giant phallus, and a necrophiliac girl. Altogether, that makes for some slightly above average 70+ minutes.

The special effects are very poorly done though; if you have seen the cover art and thought, "Oh my, now that looks retarded", this is a shot from an actual scene in the flick. There's some more badly done scenes, although the scenes with the necrophiliac girl are excecuted generally nice and are highly amusing.

In the end, I'd say recommended if you like gorn, but the first entry in the series, Guts Of A Beauty, 'd be a better choice.

Haha, nice one there. 'Cept for the fact that whatever haunted the house in Evil Dead didn't have a giant phallus. Or at least, not that I can remember.

However, 1/ people 2/ getting stuck 3/ in a house 4/ in the woods 5/ and then get terrorized 6/ by evil forces, weeeeeell, we've heard it all before, indeed.

If I recall correctly the Japanese term for films like Entrails... is 'ero-gro', or 'erotic-grotesque'. Less tolerant commentators call it 'ero-gro nonsense'.

There's some sense to it, although I must stress that eroticism is hard to find in these flicks. I mean, they obviously tried, but failed, miserably.

i picked this up over the weekend, except mine is called ENTRAILS OF A VIRGIN. judging by your synopsis, it's the same movie. watched the first 7 minutes of this (all sex) but i'll watch the rest soon.

Yes, Entrails Of A Virgin is the same as Guts Of A Virgin. It's just a difference in translation from the original Japanese title.

Yup, a damn fine box. It's a pity that I already have three out of four titles though, I'd bought it otherwise!

o/t:

I see you're listening to You're A Woman, I'm A Machine! Diddly-darn, that's a great album. I love it.

Finally got around to knocking off a review of this charming little film. I'll be doing the others soon...

Haha, a funny coincidence - just working on this one as well! Excellent review, btw.

Thank you, that's much appreciated. I look forward to yours!

I just read Naked Lunch (couldn't finish it. So gross) so I'm sure this will seem like lolipops and kitten compared to that.
