Taking a ride on the Crimson Express

If you thought yesterday's post regarding NEKromantik was a tad out there, you might just want to leave now, because the generous uploaders at YouTube felt compelled to give us another foreign nasty. Let me start off by saying there are worse films out there on YouTube right now. Stuff that will make any decent person's soul jump out of their body and hide under the bed. Really sicko twisted films that I may or may not review at a later time. But that should not lessen the slam that this movie could deliver to your corneas. This is another one that pushes envelopes like a bulldozer.

Today's Screaming Streaming is Naked Blood.
Naked Blood
Also known as Splatter: Naked Blood or Naked Blood: Megyaku, this is one mean little Japanese horror.
Eiji is a teenage genius whose mother is a scientist developing a contraceptive drug. Eiji has developed a drug of his own that he calls "MySon" which is supposedly a powerful pain killer. Eiji tests his drug on three of his mother's female test subjects secretly and observes the results from afar with a video camera.
MySon works. A little too well as it turns pain into pleasure. You see where this is going. In the film's most famous moment, one of the women, who enjoys cooking and eating discovers her own body could be a meal and it turns into something along the self mutilation lines that even the title character of my film, "Bianca" would wince at. If you'd ever wanted to see a woman eat her own sex organs with a knife and fork, you'll be able to scratch that one off your bucket list today!
Another woman is into fashion and self image and this too gets downright bloody and disgusting as she makes "alterations" to her body.
The film manages to wrap up this vile exercise with a fairly entertaining story line that I wont spoil any further.  This film is actually one of my favorites of the extreme Japanese gore films and it's very cool to see it here online. Presented with subtitles for your convenience. And don't give me the excuse that you don't want to watch it because you hate reading subtitles. We all know the real reason.
This was the least gory cover photo I could find.
