Tokyo Gore Police

Yoshihiro Nishimura spent years as the effects wizard behind the whole J-splatter wave before he directed this, and it plays like his showreel with a plot loosely attached. Eihi Shiina, the girl with the needles from Audition, hunts 'engineers,' mutants who grow weapons out of any wound you give them, so every fight ends in a fresh anatomical impossibility geysering blood across the frame. Between the massacres run deadpan fake commercials for designer wrist-cutting knives. It is exhausting, juvenile and technically astonishing, gallon for gallon the goriest thing you can name. Bring a poncho.
