Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

dixieburlesque Why would you even watch a film in another language without subtitles or dubbing? No wonder all these reviewers are claiming it's difficult to follow - well of course it is! Why not get a subtitled copy? I found it easy enough to find and I wasn't even trying.I thought this was good but I think it could've been awesome if they completely rewrote the ending, perhaps delved a little deeper into the home situation and didn't blur the sex scenes but to be fair, enough happened in the movie's time frame to keep me interested and entertained for the full hour and 5.If you like Asian cinema, give this a try, it's definitely worth a watch.

ElijahCSkuggs Girl Hell 1999, weird name for a flick huh? Well, it's a weird movie. And the obscure factor rises when you don't know a damn thing what they're saying. That is the biggest issue you'll most likely have with Girl Hell, that is if you're a fan of this type of film. If you're not, haha, it's kinda "pahvoice".The story like I said is kinda confusing. It revolves around a young school girl who is living in a pretty hellish reality. Her Dad sexually abuses her injured and heavily bandaged Mom...or older sister, which Im not entirely sure which. Her Dad also seems to threaten her quite a bit, causing the gentle daughter to have a nasty inflicted suicide wound on her wrist, that she bites into when things get a little rough. There's a side story where the young girl seems to have befriended some homeless girl who lives near the shore. I have no clue what their relationship is, maybe they just met? Maybe she's the girl's sister, that possibly has suffered from gigantic psychological issues. It's really a guessing game there. Then there is a side story where two young hooligans seem to be reminiscing about past events, and that you realize that one of them was responsible for the injuries of the girls' Mom/Sister. There are a few other situations happening where the young girl's life is fully solidified as being a nightmare, from a perverted businessman to a fat friend who seems to be living life happily but at the same time, not being a true friend in the slightest bit. Characters meet and obviously bizarre and violent events take place.Girl Hell was pretty entertaining. It had some very dark humor, some very sleazy sex, and some bloody violence. There is one scene where the fat friend is having sex with her sugar daddy....who may be the king when it comes down to being a sleaze bag when having sex. He's screaming and sweating....that was a real funny scene. There was also a pretty sexy scene where lesbian nipple sucking is on screen. The movie has the goods, but like I said previously, you can't understand much, which really sucks. Daisuke is a good story teller from what I can gather, because Red Room was a well-written movie, and I'm sure this would be the case as well. So yeah, if you're into Daisuke flick and extreme/Asian cinema, there's no reason not to check out Girl Hell. 7 outta 10

sevdah First of all, it's not very easy ( and it might not make much sense ) to review a Japanese movie with no subtitles available anywhere if you don't speak Japanese. I watched " Red room 1" , apparently only Yamanouchi's flick with translation ( Thanks to Unearthed Films )and found out that it's not just pure senseless exploitation and sickness. From my personal point of view, director and screenwriter is an intelligent person with fairly bizarre imagination ,but, unfortunately, this is obscured by the fact that there is no other author's movie translated to English ( I hope this will change eventually ). " Girl Hell " , therefore, might seem chaotic, unintelligible and pointless, but my feelings are that this is not the case. I'll try to explain this right away:The movie has a plot that is coherent and events presented in this shocking, disgusting piece of nihilistic nightmare are obviously connected and represent pieces of a very tragic story - to say the least. The main character - girl with the bicycle - is actually a sister of the horribly victimized woman bandaged , tied with duct tape and repeatedly raped by her father. I know this because the main character talks to her using the word that means " sister" ( I learned that watching Japanese films with subs). So, there's a very violent incest on top of all other horrendous things. It seems that the main girl is somewhat spared from this abuse, so it might result in her feelings of guilt over her sister being a " sacrificial lamb" , and herself being at least partially spared because of that ( or maybe some other reason too). The victimized sister bears a horrible wound on her stomach that looks like a result of a failed suicide attempt ( seppuku ). Although the luckier sister is able to call the police and end this nightmare, she chooses not to, which is actually not a rarity in cases of a severe domestic abuse. Maybe she is somehow blackmailed by her sadistic father. Now, let's say something about two young rapists. One of them, the dominant one, is somehow acquainted with the situation in the sadist's family. He himself is also a sadist. When he talks to his buddy we see a flashback that reveals the images of a brutalized girl in bandages- it's like he knows her. And what I find very interesting about it, is that during that part , the guy also uses the word " sister". Maybe he is their brother who escaped from that hellish household. There is no doubt about the fact that he is very much alike that disgusting sicko prone to incest and torture; he proves that on more that one occasion. He knows where the house is, and when confronted with the father on the front door of the house, we can observe that father doesn't look surprised when he sees him. He kills the father. The subsequent abuse of the poor girl in bandages by two young maniacs is just a logical continuation of her previous torment. And what about that surreal, huge, red moon over that horrid house? My guess is that it might be a hint to something that places the plot in the context that suits the movie title: maybe it all happens in some sort of hell, another dimension made for punishment and suffering.But maybe I'm wrong.I don't know what to say about homeless woman, except that her death by the hand of the main character also looks surreal ( I mean, you can't decapitate someone with the baseball bat just like that, but on the other hand, Yamanouchi's " Kyoko vs Yuki" is richer with even more ridiculous acts of violence).Sickness breeds sickness, depravity creates depravity, violence causes violence. These are some of the messages in this movie. I liked it in a weird sort of way and hope someday someone will invest some effort in translating this strange flick so I can finally know what it's all about. 7 out of 10.

EVOL666 GIRL HELL is a strange entry in the newer wave of Japanese super-extreme gore films. This is another one that has no English subtitles or dub, so I couldn't follow the story at all. There was some pretty weird stuff going on that didn't make much sense together, but I'm hoping that's because I didn't know what the hell anyone was saying. Anyway, I'll try to explain some of what I saw: There are 2 guys in the beginning talking about something for a long while. A girl with a bandage on her wrist then goes to see some bag-lady lady who lives in a field and who lactates trying to "feed" her plastic baby-doll. Then we cut to a scene of some fat chick getting boned by an old guy. Bandage-wrist and the fat girl meet up and talk for a while, and then Bandage-wrist goes home, where she hears people boning in the other room. An old naked guy (not the same old guy from before - father perhaps?) comes out of the bedroom and says some stuff that I guess is mean to the girl. She then proceeds to bite herself on her bandaged arm until she starts to bleed. Old guy leaves and the girl goes to see who is in the other room. Turns out to be some chick who's all beat up and covered in gauze bandages. Bandage-wrist tries to clean the gauze-lady up some. Bandage wrist then goes back to hang out with Bag-lady. For some reason the girl sucks the bag-ladies titty til milk pours out. Bandage-wrist goes home and the old guy is banging Gauze-woman again. Bandage-wrist gets p!ssed and threatens him with a knife, but he doesn't seem to care too much, and she doesn't stab him. The 2 guys from the beginning go and beat the sh!t out of Bag-lady with a baseball bat and rape her. Some guy in a limo comes up to Bandage-wrist and they go for a ride together. While they take a ride, the 2 guys go to Bandage-wrist's house and hit Old-guy in the head with the bat. The 2 guys then proceed to humiliate and rape Gauze-woman in some pretty nasty DP action until she bleeds all over the place. Bandage-wrist goes home to find Old-guy and Gauze-lady dead. She passes out and ends up tied and gagged in limo guys car. Limo-guy pulls out some sort of catheter thing, sticks it in Bandage-wrist and starts drinking her p!ss. Bandage-wrist is dropped off, and the 2 guys find her and act like they are going to rape her. One of the 2 guys stabs the other guy with a screwdriver for no apparent reason, and Bandage-wrist gets up and walks away. Bandage wrist goes to see her friend Bag-lady, but since Bag-lady has recently been beaten and raped, she's not really in the mood for company. Bandage-wrist get's mad and knocks Bag-lady's head off with the baseball bat (which doesn't really make any sense because the 2 guys had the bat with them at Bandage-wrist's house - unless bag lady has her own bat laying around...). THE END...I have never put this long of a synopsis in a review before, and the only reason I did this time is that this film made absolutely no sense to me so I don't know how to accurately describe it other than to explain exactly what happened in the film. It had some pretty entertaining gore and what-not, but I had no idea how any of these people were inter-related. If anyone has seen this and has any clue, please PM me, I would love to know what this film was about. Anyway, some very rough stuff in this one and it WILL NOT appeal to the general audience. I give it a 6 for now because it was kind of interesting, would possibly rate it higher (or lower, depending...) if I could have understood the story-line. Worth a look for the "extreme" film-fan 6/10
