This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Excellent, a Must See

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I bought this one real cheap, i thought why the hell not. I enjoyed The Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police and Mutant Girl Squad, i even liked Helldriver which was a chaotic mess. In my opinion Gothic Lolita Psycho just didn't work out, first of all the whole thing is completely ripped off from Tarantino's Kill Bill (and sucks at it). You get this girl dressed up as a goth in a completely over the top style, who starts killing off a couple of nut jobs who killed her mother (you'll figure out at the end of the movie) one by one. Most of these so called killers act plain idiotic, for example you get a perverted teacher who flies through the air armed with a mob. And a psychotic schoolgirl wearing a eyepatch who talks like a baby, it might be fun for those who enjoy rediculous over the top behaviour but it just annoyed the hell out of me. Don't get me wrong i enjoy watching japanese crazyness, but this production just failed. yes there's gore. Not the rediculous amounts you get to see in Tokyo Gore Police, but it's decent. Dismembered limbs, squirting fountains of blood. Crushed bodies etcetera, but it just didn't caught my attention. It just looked like they didn't try hard enough to make something good, what also bothered me was a huge plothole. There's no background history of the killers, you never get to know how they met eachother. Or why they teamed up to commit the murder, believe me. There are better japanese or any other asian splatter movies to watch then this crapfest.

The film opens to spaghetti being eaten with an emphasis on the slurping while smoking a cigarette with one's hair grazing the spaghetti. This is at gambling den, where poor people are being tortured or murdered at the amusement of the rich. The camera meanders from one wretched scene to the next until it focuses on two well-to-do criminals who are gambling over odd versus even for the roll of two dice. The winner gets to shoot three tied up victims. After this is completed, the 'loser' gets upset, and the woman who rules the roost calls for her bouncers to settle things down unless the two parties shut up. One party leaves, while the other braces for confrontation.Yuki, dressed in Goth style, arrives and beats the nonsense out of everyone except the gambling den owner, whom she decapitates. After the bloodbath, Yuki goes home to her paraplegic father, who had been giving prayers at a small indoor shrine. Miraculously, Yuki's clothes have no blood splatter or spaghetti sauce on them. Yuki burns a card that symbolizes her opponent in her recent victory.There are a number of filler segments, sometimes in flashbacks.The spaghetti segment at the start. It certainly justified the death of the spaghetti eater and any of his cohorts, but it did not advance the plot or deepen character development.There's the segment about the chemistry teacher who wants to demonstrate telekinesis on a spoon, but sends wind up the girls' skirts instead.Anything involving the nonsense character Elle. There were four of these. The worst was when Yuki and Elle have guns drawn at point blank range, and they don't fire. Elle takes a phone call, which goes on and on. Sure. Yuki tries to break Elle's neck. Takes forever. Both Yuki and Elle have unlimited numbers of bullets in their guns.The laughing of her fifth opponent went on ad nauseam.Ridiculous fight scenes:The mob fight scene in the gambling den. Yuki spins with her umbrella and defeats/knocks down a dozen larger attackers with knives, swords, and the like. Yuki kills target number one, but that took three, perhaps four, seconds.Yuki versus chemistry teacher, mop versus umbrella. After a bit he showed he could fly; still, it was a mop versus an umbrella. In the middle of the fight, he stops to comb the mop's hair. This was one of the persons who killed Yuki's mother. She did not really pursue the question of why he did it, or whether his allies posed further threat. This was target number two.Seven guys in a fight club decide to beat up a man with no training whatsoever. Yuki challenges them. They yell for a while, then use their bodies to form English letters. Then they form a character with the group, and say, 'We are kamikaze!' With that sort of introduction, how serious could this group be? Grunting and her umbrella seem to be enough for her to prevail. Absurd. Actually, this should be under 'filler segments.' This goes on and on. The amusing part was that their victim was the one she came to kill, Yuki's target number three.Yuki's fights with Elle, her victim number four. This was about as credible as the mid-level opponent fights in the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Whereas fully trained men who each have 50 to 70 pounds of muscle on Yuki cannot defeat Yuki, the diminutive child Elle (a lightweight well under five feet tall) wounds Yuki and narrowly missed killing her. This is the ultimate foulness of this movie. It embraces the unlikely or the impossible. Rather, it seems to insist on it, and rejoice in it. Yuki and Elle fire well over 50 bullets at each other in the second fight...and land zero of them.This continues for another 25 or so minutes. It does not get better.-----Scores------Cinematography: 7/10 Dark and soft focus for too many frames.Sound: 7/10 OKActing: 0/10 No credible performances.Screenplay: 0/10 Terrible.

What can I tell about this flick. It's a typical Japanese flick but in the new way. This one do has a story but there isn't that much going on except a few flash backs and a lot of fighting scenes. The credits on the sleeve did mention the new attraction Asami but she's maybe for 2 minutes in this flick. On the other hand they tease you with Rina Akiyama who has won the Best Buttocks Award 2007. Guess she asks to much to show it.I found it an average flick with the last fight having something special. Suddenly the flick moves into some kind of possessed flick with devils and monsters. Still, it's full of sputtering wounds, Japanese style. No nudity whatsoever. I have seen so many of those kind of flicks the last months with humour and gore that I can't tell which one was different from the other one. Only for the lovers of the new Japanese horror but for me, old school was much better.Gore 3/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

Girl has her birthday celebrations interrupted by a group of hooded killers who burst in cripple her father and kills her mother.Now she is in a journey to avenge her mother, hunting down and killing the killers one after another................. while dressed as a Gothic lolita doll.Why is she dressed as a Gothic lolita? No clue as the movie does not explain. Why did the killers kill her mother? 'cos she's a monster. Why is she a monster? no clue. Who are the killers? no clue and there is no history or development.That sums this movie up. Expect no character development or even any plot of story development. This movie is all about action, action and action. She shows up fights the killers and kills them.Some of the fight scenes are quite well done but others are a little too drawn out. Add the lack of any form of character or plot development, the movie seemed repetitive. I found myself fast forwarding through parts of the fight scenes (which is basically the movie).
