1986 - 72m.
Japan

Virtually plotless, bordering on repulsive and packed with plenty of almost porn sex scenes (which were optically fuzzed in the version I saw); this erotic horror import tells of some photographers and models being trapped in a deserted house during a thick fog. In between bouts of lewd sex and dirty talk the men are gorily killed and the women raped by a mud-caked creature (man?) with a very large, ahem, penis.

Definitely not for all tastes; this is so screwy that it's completely compelling and watchable for hardcore horror fans and those interested in the messed-up films coming from overseas.

Lots of bodily fluid slinging, plenty of outrageous moments (some of which are listed below) and totally entrancing; this is sparsely subtitled and worthy of the fast forward button at times; but you'll keep watching.

The feeling you get while watching that writer/director Komizu thinks "all women are meat" can be disturbing at times but when we have to deal with an over-the-top uni-sex wrestling match, the interesting intercutting of butcher shop meat pounding with a head cave-in, a rubber spear death that's pretty laughable, a masturbation scene using a dismembered arm and one completely gross castration scene; it's all kind of pushed to the background.

You've been warned folks.

Followed by two sequels.
