Anecdotes
Distributors of this movie had hoped to be given an 18 certificate for the film, which involves torture such as amputation and eye-gouging. But the British Board of Film Classification said the film featured sexual sadism for its own sake. Also stated that giving the film a rating would involve a "risk of harm" to those viewing it. Therefore no classification was given and selling or supplying the film would now be illegal.

Citations
Aki: I've seen your mother before. She's a prostitute in Okubo. A fat whore with caked-on makeup, right? A germ-infested swine. It's definitely her. You look just like her. That thing is the same, too.
The Doctor: "That thing"?... What thing?
Aki: So you're not aware of it?
The Doctor: I'm asking you.
Aki: So you really don't know. I pity you. You've never had many friends, have you? Am I right? Especially girls. They make faces and won't come near you. Only whores, like your mother, or gold-diggers would have sex with you. You've never had a single woman love you, right? Do you know why? Want me to tell you? It's hereditary, from your mother who's a whore. That old prostitute from Okubo who stunk like a skunk. That's why even the drunk wouldn't sleep with her. Get it? Seeing that the old hag didn't tell you, that means she didn't even know about her own stench.
The Doctor: I stink?
Aki: You and your whore mother. You have horrible body odor. Your armpits stink.
The Doctor: Body odor...
Aki: Your sense of smell is bad, right? Hyposmia. That's hereditary, too. You've got the most foul stench that you can't even smell. So there are people like you. The reason people didn't come near you is because you stunk. Even so, if someone really loved you, they would have told you. The fact that no one told you means you weren't loved by anyone. You're doing such idiotic things like this because you're lonely, right? Bull's eye? I pity you. Poor thing. How lonely.

Every Bit As Graphic and Vile As You've Heard

Grotesque (2009)

*** (out of 4)

Extremely graphic, depraved and vile film from Japan about teenagers Kazuo (Hiroaki Kawatsure) and Aki (Tsugumi Nagasawa) who are on their first date when they're kidnapped by a sadistic surgeon (Shigeo Osako) who takes them back to his house, ties them up and begins to torture them. As a life-long horror fan it seems every few one, two or three new movies cause a stir but when you finally get around to watching them it's clear that it was all hype and they're usually disappointing. Over the past few weeks I had heard a lot of GROTESQUE and I must say that director Koji Shiraishi has made a very brutal film that lives up to everything that has been said about it. The movie is a vile piece of trash but there's no question that it's well-made and certainly effective. I guess you could say that this is Japan's answer to American series like SAW and HOSTEL but those films don't have anything on this. The torture scenes, as you'd expect, are extremely graphic in detail so I'd say that 98% of people out there aren't going to be able to stomach them. I'm a pretty jaded horror fan and I've seen some incredibly brutal films but this here would certainly rank right near the top. The sexual violence in the film includes an incredibly humiliating situation where the girl is raped in a way that I won't ruin here but it's certainly one of the most unpleasant things you're going to see. The torture devices include a chainsaw, eye gouging and a couple scenes to the male anatomy that is going to have male viewers turning their heads like children. At just 75-minutes the film really doesn't waste any time building up a story or trying the stretch out the characters. In all honesty this is a good thing because a film like this doesn't need any boring backstory and in fact the worst thing about the movie is the one flashback introduction to the two teens. The performances by the three actors are extremely good and very believable. Both victims really make you feel the pain they're going through and Osako is so cold and chilling that he's certainly a character you'll never get out of your mind. GROTESQUE is thankfully going to appeal to very few people and it's hard to recommend except to those who want to see how far you can be pushed with violence and torture. It's hard to stomach but it's effective.
