The last Asian horror movie I have seen was Ichi The Killer. I bought it on DVD a couple months ago but simply didn't watch it until recently. A friend back in high school told me it was ridiculously gory so I had to check it out.
Boy was he right.
Not only did it come with a little fake packet of blood souvenir, but the movie itself was practically dripping of blood. I enjoyed the movie as a whole, but there was some CGI that I didn't like. For example:
**Spoiler**
There is one scene where a bad guys face is literally sliced right off his head and splats against a wall, then slides down. While it was an inventive idea, it looked incredibly fake. I know that's probably pretty hard to imitate with real effects, but if you can't make it look decent then don't do it.
**Spoiler End**
Ichi The Killer WOULD be the bloodiest movie I have ever seen, if it weren't for Tokyo Gore Police. That movie was just...ridiculous. If you have seen it, you know what I mean.
