Synopsis

Miike Takashi, who has provided visual experience that made it hard for the audience to keep their eyes open with such films as Audition and Ichi the Killer, is once again living up to the expectations of viewers who can't get enough of gory images. He throws painful images that are simply unbearable to watch for "ordinary" viewers. Scenes from this movie are so brutal that the movie was banned from US television networks. How many viewers will be able to keep their eyes open at unimaginably brutal torture scenes? No one can deny that it is one of the cruelest and most bizarre episodes of the Masters of Horror series.
