Crazy Lips (Japan) -- When a young man is accused of being a serial killer, his sister hires a psychic to find the real culprit.
This film is a complete mess. It doesn't know whether it is horror, comedy or kung fu. It's too nasty to giggle at so the light hearted touches didn't work. It's never boring & goes along at a decent clip. Anything that doesn't make sense sort of gets cleared up by some plot reveals later on. This is more of a sex film than horror as it's got rape scenes (that turn into sex scenes) throughout.
The most shocking sequence involves some very creative necrophilia. I won't explain as that will take the sting out of watching it. I wish they hadn't tried to be silly as I would have preferred straightforward horror. The special FX were uneven but that's forgivable in a low budget film. As I said it's more of a sex film than a gore movie.
I don't know whether I actually liked it. It was a weird experience I will need to revisit before deciding.
It definitely lives up to the ''crazy'' in the title.
