'the spectacle of sadism' that so bothers the BBFC seems to be, at least in part, a cinematic metaphor for the twists and turns of a couple's journey from bodily lust to enduring love.

Grotesque has a winningly old-school feel that harks back to the good old Guinea Pig days, with which the film has more in common than western torture porn

Rated: 5/5

"Grotesque" is right, with the abundant shock value with not much of a build up, don't expect much from this one.

I saw this movie on a "Most Disturbing Movies of All Time" list. That distinction is well deserved. Unfortunately it's also rather pointless.

You think it's hot to be tied up and sexually molested, be careful of what you wish for.........The Japanese know how to make a good, bloody horror flick, if you like some good gore make sure you give this one a watch.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
