James Mudge easternKicks.com Though the sex smothers most of the film, there are enough outrageous and perverse moments to make it well worth checking out for fans of bizarro far-out exploitation cinema Rated: 3/5 Oct 23, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Entrails of a Virgin tells the story of a group of people who get stranded in an empty house in the woods and end up being stalked by a strange, probably inhuman creature. It's not the most original of scenarios, even for the time, but it's how the story is told that makes the movie so unique. We first see the group of six as they are working together on a photo shoot in some remote location presumably far away from any city. There are three men (the photographer, his assistant, and the producer) and three women (the model, and two more assistants). As they change setups, locations, and outfits, we begin to get a sense of the relationships within the group through some nicely shot scenes, some rather dreamlike cutaways, and a few flashbacks of some rather long sex scenes. This whole opening sequence sets up a lot of what we can expect to see later: unique and interesting editing, some nicely framed shots, and a lot of sex and nudity that drags on for what is arguably a bit too long. After the photo shoot, everyone gets into a van and begins the drive back home. Unfortunately for them, a thick fog rolls in with the night, and the group gets lost. They end up finding a house in the woods, so the men decide their only choice is to stay there for the night once they discover that the house is under construction and no one is there. The women just want to go home, but the lecherous producer and predatory photographer are in no rush. They have other plans, and their plans all involve more prolonged sex scenes. Out in the woods though, a person/creature has risen out of the mud, and he's already begun to stalk the group. From there, the movie gets a bit weird. And a bit gross. The mud man (as I'll call him from here on out) tracks down each member of the group after they begin to split apart for various reasons. For the men, the mud man just wants to murder them in horrible ways. And if you've been paying attention, I think you know what he wants from the women. It's more sex and violence for the women, though the two aren't necessarily kept separate. It all plays out as a basic slasher, but the nudity and gore are amped up beyond what you might be used to in a lot of mainstream or even a lot of low budget American slashers from the same time period. I wouldn't say Entrails of a Virgin is the most brutal or disgusting movie I've ever watched, but there is definitely some repulsive stuff to be seen. For me, a lot of the grosser stuff involved the mixing of sex and gore, or at least the close proximity of one leading directly into the other. Those were also some of the more memorable moments as well. I think the mixture of nudity combined with grotesque imagery, the blurring of the lines between softcore and gore movies, are where Entrails of a Virgin best succeeds. Overall, I thought Entrails of a Virgin was pretty good. I liked it fine, but it definitely felt like it dragged from time to time. I felt my hand reaching for the remote to skip forward during a few of the many sex scenes just because the movie seemed to slow completely down during these times. Everything beyond that was very good. It has a great atmosphere, and it's just strange enough to be interesting without being incomprehensible. I think a deeper reading could absolutely pull some larger metaphors out of the movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Cheaply made and horribly assembled, Entrails Of A Virgin, a title which makes more sense out of context than in it, is either a porno masquerading as a B-movie, or a B-movie with pornographic aspirations. Whichever it is the results are deeply unpleasant. Being mostly tedious for its 72-minute runtime, it does manage to provoke a chuckle every now and then, unintentionally of course. The majority if it consists of awkwardly staged and executed make out scenes with repetitive ADR which is usually completely out of the sync with the actor's lip movements. The imagery is utterly terrible, but with most much of it shot in the dark with very poor lighting, you won't see half of it anyway. Dull, directionless and completely nonsensical, it simply isn't worth watching for any reason, aside from sheer morbid curiosity. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Tää oli jo ihan sekoilua Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Might've got more out of it if I were into sex with dismembered body parts. I feel so straight in my old age. Some cool editing though. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Well that put me off Japan! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Very few virgins and very few entrails, quite a misleading title if you ask me.
