Tokyo Gore Police [2008]
Original Title: Tôkyô zankoku keisatsu
Japan/USA
Director: Yoshihiro Nishimura
My Rating: 6/10
This movie seems to be well liked and generally well reviewed, which is surprising because it doesn't make much of an attempt to be good or coherent, instead it aims for complete ridiculousness and over the top gory and silly. In that respect it succeeds quite admirably. If you like Troma movies you'll probably be on board with this one; it seems to made with that audience in mind. I can't definitively say it's the goriest thing I've seen, but it's up there and the effects aren't bad.
The plot isn't really worth mentioning, but visually it looks pretty good. Bad taste abounds here, and that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Nothing is safe in this one, genitals can and will be mutilated and weaponized. Unfortunately it doesn't really have much else going for it, and it's easy to get bored. This is one of those movies I might put on in the background for it's visuals, but would not be likely to rewatch very often.
