Schoolgirl Iseki's life is hell as it is: Her mother is a madwoman who
lives in a tent breastfeeding a damaged doll as if it was her own baby
(and she sometimes even gives milk to Iseki as well), her sister is
constantly tied up, abused and raped by her father, and is bandaged pretty
much from head
to toe because of former injuries, and if it wasn't for her mother and sister,
Iseki would long have committed suicide. Then though she meets a rich boy
who shows an interest in her, and somehow she responds to his advances
-but once she's in his car, he just ties her up and forces her to piss,
drinking her pee with a smirking smile ... Meanwhile, two young ruffians
have raped Iseki's mother and broken her doll, killed her father, raped
and killed her sister, and eventually, they bump into Iseki as well. But
having just been forced to piss by a guy she thought she liked and having
found dad and sis dead, she couldn't care less about being raped - and
when she shows no reaction at all, one of the youngsters stabs the other
in sexual desperation. Iseki returns to her mother, but when she finds
the doll, whom she apparently saw as sibling, damaged, she loses her cool
and beats her mother to a pulp with baseball bat, then decapitates her ... A
very merciless piece of grotesque erotica (or Ero Gro, as the
Japanese like to call it) that sounds more gruesome than it is though -
that's not to say the film is not too explicit for comfort (and intends to
be, too), but some of the scenes are just way too over-the-top to reach
their full potential (which might even be a good thing), while the very
bleak and consciously bland direction might work well with the brutality
of the plot, but fails to leave much of an impression on the more
differentiating viewer. In all, of limited interest because of certain grotesque
ideas, but not too memorable as a whole. Not for the faint-hearted though.
