Tumbling Doll Of Flesh (1998)

(AKA: Niku Daruma - Psycho: The Snuff Reels)

My rating - 4/10

A young woman is filming a porn movie but when they try and make her go further than she wants to she tries to leave. She's knocked out and tied to a bed and slowly turned into a "Tumbling Doll Of Flesh".

Still to this day this vile little flick is considered by many to be one of the nastiest and most offensive movies ever made. The first half is nothing more than standard hardcore porn with some "behind the scenes" type footage thrown in between the action. Then out of nowhere it turns into an ultra nasty gorefest with some genuinely tough scenes to watch even for hardcore gore fans. As with most Japanese movies the male and female genitalia are pixilated in line with Japans laws, but the gore and violence is there in all it's nasty glory.

For what it is it's quite well done but it was definitely a more interesting watch when seen on a 3rd or 4th gen VHS bootleg. You can just imagine how realistic this looked back in those old tape trading days (which is where I first encountered it) and it quickly gained a fearsome reputation. The clearer picture quality of it's DVD releases did slightly, but only very slightly reduce it's impact, but be warned, this is not for everyone and if you're even the slightest bit squeamish or easily offended then don't even bother looking for this one.
