Hole Head 2010 Program Guide - Samurai Princess
Samurai Princess
Dir: Kenjo Kaji
Samurai Princess delivers the blood spurting guts, whirling blades and a celebration of extremes with all the trimmings. Tokyo Gore Police screenwriter Kengo Kaji takes the helm of this samurai era tale with a twist to include hellish androids bent on recreating bodies from a hodge-podge of limbs, entrails and buckets of fingers, toes and noses. Teaming up with Yoshihiro Nishimura, the Tokyo Gore Police director who’s in charge of both the makeup and special effects, there are no holds barred.
In order to save mankind from monster androids a deranged scientist transforms an avenging angel into a deadly samurai with a fine array of deadly weapons, and the souls of eleven girls who were brutally raped and murdered. An android with eleven souls hell bent on a path of destruction. Oh, and did I mention the detachable breast projectiles that can, if used correctly, take a person’s head off right down to the shoulder blades? Ah, the fun unfolds in a river of very messy revenge…
The main issue here is, of course, the androids running wild, who feel no human emotion beyond an affinity for their “art form.” “Reconstruction of the human body is the finest form of art.” Picture, if you will, a Picasso stature made of reassembled body parts. The grotesque and the disgusting are the tools of the trade for these non-human art fans and there’s no limit on the splatter fest in the pursuit of this odd art form. Faces are sliced open and tongues clipped off at the root. Of course nothing this over the top would be complete without a few good and gory chainsaw scenes! Yep. This one delivers the messy blood bath in a volume that is hard to fathom. Samurai Princess is sexy and funny while still outlandishly disgusting and perfectly executed.
