Aftermath / Genesis [DOUBLE FEATURE] [BANNED GRAPHIC COVER] (product link) Horror / Thriller "Aftermath" is one of the most disturbing videos I have ever seen. There is practically no story and some very troubling depiction of necrophilia. It does make you think about what could happen to you after you die. The effects are incredible and the film has some amazing detail that makes it very realistic. This movie is only for people that are looking for the most disturbing videos in the world.
Red Room (product link) Horror / Thriller "Red Room" is another extreme film from Unearthed Films. I read the description and looked forward to this film. I thought there would e some great bloody torture scenes, but instead it ended up being nothing more then a softcore porn film that covers ever strange and dark fetish in the world. This film is only for people that like to watch some very disturbing sexual content.
The Eye [2002] (product link) Thriller / Horror "The Eye" is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. This movie is very scary at times but it never loses the very well developed story. The acting is incredible, with wonderful characters that really make you feel the story. I believe this is possibly that greatest horror film I have ever seen and would suggest it to anyone that loves a great ghost story.
The Sisters (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Sisters" is a good horror movie that starts at a hotel room where people are lured to the air-conditioning vent one by one until they all leave the room in fear. Once they leave the room a series of strange accidents starts to kill them each one after another. When they search for help from the local monks, they inform them that they are under the curse of a decapitated prostitute that haunts their room. They're are given a cure for their curse, but can they save themselves before the curse consumes them all?
The Suicide Manual (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Suicide Manual" is an interesting peace of film that depicts the struggle of a young boy and his female friend that is investigating a strange video for his news job. When he meets a strange girl that lends him a copy of the mysterious video, Witch rings up the internal conflict that he struggles with to find purpose of his life. There is little gore and very little instruction but it does have a good story. With an ending that leaves you shaking your head.
The Suicide Manual 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Suicide Manual 2" is the story of a police officer that comes across a beautiful young woman that has slit her wrists and takes her in. He spends most of the movie trying to help her with her emotional issues. While he tries to help, the police investigate the return of the strange video. After one day he returns and she has disappeared, and his search for her starts. [Like the first film, this sequel] has very little gore effects and there is practically no instruction.
Cannibal (product link) Horror / Thriller I believe that "Cannibal" is overrated. If you want a bloody graphic nightmare, you will be greatly disappointed. The movie starts out with the whole "will someone let me eat them?" thing and then turns itself in to a gay porn for the next hour. Finally when we get some hope of a gruesome human-eating party; instead he complains about eating his friend. And when he finally does, it is so dark that you can’t see enough to tell what he is doing. Overall I was greatly disappointed.

Excellent review. The biggest shocker about this film in my opinion is how much people seem to like it. They're wrong. If this movie had a scrotum, I'd kick it. Hugs and kisses, the Bottle Kids!
Shutter [2004] (product link) Horror / Thriller "Shutter" is one of the greatest horror films I have ever seen. I have seen several different imported horrors, and this is one of the best films ever. The story is built well and plays out beautifully, with a wonderful story with a great moral point, and one of the best endings I have encountered over the several hundred horror films I have seen in my life.
This Hollow Sacrament (product link) Horror / Thriller Interesting film about a fairly graphic serial killer that lures a police officer into a game of cat and mouse. The police officer arrests suspects that have committed sexual assaults on various people. After the suspects are sitting in jail, their victims start getting abducted and tortured and killed by some strange suspects that spend his time taunting the police with phone calls and more victims. The blood and gore effects are decent with a halfway interesting story.
Apartment 1303 (product link) Horror / Thriller "Apartment 1303" is a supernatural horror movie that has a decent story and a few good parts that make you jump. The effects are okay--some of the blue screen work did not come out great, but if you can tell it is a blue screen effect then it is not very good.
The story is of an apartment that has a terrible and buried history of a mother and daughter that die tragically. The main character starts her investigation after her little sister moves into the apartment and during her welcoming party she calmly collects a few things and jumps of the 13-story balcony to her death. During her investigation she discovers that her sister is not the first to commit such an act. Five others have also jumped from the room to tragic end. Can she unravel the mystery of the apartment and appease the spirits before they claim her life as well.
The Unborn [2003] (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Unborn" is a great supernatural horror flick with a good story and a wonderful ending you will never see coming. The story is about a girl that is brutally beaten over a bad drug deal. When she regains consciousness at the hospital, she receives the news that she is 10 weeks pregnant. But she is being haunted by horrible nightmares, strange hallucinations and the sound of a baby crying. It is not the scariest movie I have ever seen but it is not bad either.
Azumi 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "Azumi 2" is the sequel to one of my favorite fighting movies ever. In this chapter "Azumi" and Nagara continue in on the path to complete their mission. After Nagara is injured, Azumi goes to town for food, where she meets a group of bandits that eventually join her. She's also joined by a ninja to help her complete her mission. There are some new cool villains and a few old ones as well. Basically, if you like the original, you will most likely like this one as well.
Ab-Normal Beauty (product link) Horror / Thriller "Ab-Normal Beauty" is the story of a young girl with a great talent for photography, but as she gets more skilled she also gets more board with the art. One day on her way to school, when she sees a women struck and killed by a car, she panics and turns away; but curiosity takes over and she shoots her first death picture. As her interest increases, her girlfriend gets more concerned. Then one day she receives a videotape of a person getting beaten to death. A few days later there is another, and a few days later she is kidnapped by the group. Can she escape with her life?
In my opinion, this is more of a psychological horror, not very many scares, and is more of a drama. But is not a bad peace of film.
Tragic Silence (product link) Animation / Erotica "Tragic Silence" is an average hentai. The artwork is beautiful. The story is basically about a boy that is in love with a vampire. She loves him but can’t commit to him and desert the coven. There is little to say about the story because there is almost no story, there is a lot of sex and little else.
Battle Royale (product link) Horror / Thriller "Battle Royale" is an amazing movie where 42 school students are pushed into a game to kill each other; the last one standing wins. The winner is given a great gift: the ability to leave with their life. The game starts with each student given a backpack and inside are food, water, a map, and a random weapon. The effects are awesome and the story is incredible--brutal one minute and lovable and torching the next. Can you trust the people that you fight to survive? Can you even trust your friends?
Azumi (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "Azumi" is an amazing action movie where a young girl named Azumi and her friends undergo a mission to unify Japan by assassinating a warlord that disapproves of the current leadership in Japan. They will face samurai, ninja, mercenaries, and psychopaths. The story is rich and eventful with great character development and some awesome action scenes. The story is exciting and touching.
Inside (product link) Horror / Thriller "Inside" is a total bloodbath. I pride myself on looking for the best and bloodiest of gore and this is one of the worst. The story is almost nonexistent. A women is nine months pregnant and awaiting the hospital to induce labor when she wakes up in the middle of the night to the doorbell and a mysterious woman that knows her entire life story. She has come for the child, scissors in hand, and not leaving with what she wants. The effects are well done and the story is very twisted--not for the faint of heart.

come on, I liked it too and found the violence in it shocking, but there were quite a few plot holes and stuff that would never happen in real life, these things really bothered me and made me enjoy it a whole lot less
13: Game Of Death (product link) Horror / Thriller "13: Game Of Death" is the story of men with nothing to lose and everything to game. After he lost his job, his car, and his hop he receives a phone call with a way out: play the game and win $100,000,000. How far would you go? 13 challenges, he finds that this is his only way to improve his situation. First challenge: kill the fly in the stairwell with you. Second challenge: eat the fly. Would you go this far? There are some very graphic scenes and some terrible events in this film. Also you will never see the ending coming until you see it.
Beware! Children At Play (product link) Horror / Thriller "Beware! Children At Play" is one of the most taboo movies I have ever seen. The story is very long and dragged out, with the general theme of "don’t trust in your god for it will only lead you down a path to your own destruction". The film has a good, solid ending. The effects in the movie are pretty good at times and kind of lame in others. If you want a good independent film that will make your friends think you are insane, get a copy and have a movie night with all your friends. That’s what I’m going to do and see if I have any friends in the morning.
Red Room 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller "Red Room 2" is a terrible addition to the Unearthed Films catalog. Those who are familiar with the original know it for its depth of perversion and extremely odd touchier. The original had almost no story, just small fragments that appeared at regular intervals to keep you from throwing up. I think that was the biggest problem: they tried to make a good story and tock away from the touchier. Also it seams that in the original they crossed no boundary; in this version it is like they are scared to take the same leaps of faith.
Junk (product link) Horror / Thriller I have just finished watching "Junk" and I would like to say this is one of the best zombie movies I have ever seen. I have been a huge fan of George Remora’s work almost my whole life and a great fan of the genre, and "Junk" is one of the best. The story is actually pretty good if you over look some the typical themes like military experiments, a terrible accident and stupid people just asking to be eaten. The gore is pretty heavy in this movie and very well done. So all in all if you like zombie movies you will love this. If you don’t like zombies then get it anyway. I mean monsters, jewel thefts, and the yakuza--what could be better?

An offbeat zombie film, with great references to other zombie films & other genre of films.
The three extremes are a mixture of different countries and cultures to make a collection of horror movies from around Asia.
"Box" is a ghostly tale of revenge. When a writer has terrible nightmare about the death of her sister, what is she to do? In her nightmares she faces the events that mentally damaged her in her childhood. I found the story very confusing and I did not understand the end.
"Dumplings" is about an actress that is looking for a fountain of youth--it is dumplings. These are not what you would expect, the dumplings are filled with the meat of fetuses as they are the secret of youth. Could you eat the unborn child of another? When she is convinced the dumplings are not working, she keeps asking for more powerful ingredients. They may have found youth and beauty, but at what cost? This is one of the most disturbing movies I have ever seen.
"Cut" is a film about a poor man that does evil things to a rich director in order to see if a good man pressed to the limits will become an evil man. To do this he kidnaps the director’s wife and ties her to the piano by her fingers and tells him that he has to strangle a small girl to death, and for each 5 minutes that he does not, the poor man cuts off one of his wife’s fingers. What would you do?
The Machine Girl (product link) Action/Adventure / Girls With Guns "Machine Girl" is a crazy movie. It has some very extreme violence and some creative torture ideas. The blood and gore are pretty good in some parts and look poor in others. The story is basic: an average person becomes more than average to get revenge for the loss of a loved one. When Ami’s brother and friend are murdered by a local yakuza boss’ son, she joins with the friend's family to get their revenge.
Parade Parade (product link) Animation / Erotica "Parade Parade" is a decent hentai if you are a fan of "Futanari", the story is lacking but that is the case in almost all hentai. The main character Saki is trying to become a famous pop star and hide the fact that she is a hermaphrodite. The art is good through most of the movie.
Innocence [2004] (product link) Drama / Mystery "Innocence" is one of the weirdest movies I have ever watched. To call this movie a mystery is an insult to the genre. After watching it I had more questions then answers. I don’t know much about France or its culture and that may be why I don’t understand the story or the symbolism the story contains. The story has an amazing amount of filler and as far as I can tell no actual ending or moral. I think this was a sick attempt by Lucile Hadzihalilovic to put naked little girls on film without going to jail.

I agree. If someone were to ask me about the story premise, i wouldnt know where to begin.
Bunshinsaba (product link) Horror / Thriller "Witch Board" is a horror movie with a pretty good story, where a group of kids are bullied at school, and when they are pushed too far they go to drastic lengths to get revenge. They use a magic spell to summon an evil spirit to seek their revenge, but something goes wrong and the evil presence possesses one of the girls. A few days later the first girl on the list commits suicide. Can they find a way to put the spirit to rest before the rest of them are taken by the spirit's revenge? Will the world discover the secret that fuels the spirit's hate?
There are some very interesting concepts in this movie with some exchanges between the spirit and the possessed. The effects are good and it has some good surprise shock scenes.
"Noriko’s Dinner Table" is a very long and hard-to-follow movie that is supposed to shed some light on "Suicide Club". The story takes place with Noriko, an average teenage girl who wants to leave her small town for the excitement of the big city. This is where she meets a friend from an online message board--and is taken in with a group of people that stand in for people's families for a price. Soon after the events of the first movie take place and Noriko’s sister Yuka joins her in her pursuit of happiness. Her father quits his job to search for his missing daughters. Will he find his daughters and save them from the clues dark deeds? What the two movies have in common is about three minutes at the train station, and I found that this movie did not clarify a single thing from the original. The story keeps jumping between characters and it was hard to tell who the story was focused on in most parts. All in this entire movie was a disappointment to me.
Step Sister (product link) Animation / Erotica "Step Sister" is what you normally get out of hentai: as little story as possible and a lot of sex scenes. This instance the focus is on incest and bondage fetish. The story is of two families that get married where Kyosuke and Yuna become siblings. Kyosuke has developed a growing perversion for his little sister--that she is willing to experiment with. Their actions get darker and more twisted as time goes on. Eventually she is not enough to satisfy his dark pleasures and he blackmails his step-mother into satisfying his sick desires. Then the normal happy ending where orgies and incest bring them closer as a family emotionally and not just sexually. The animation is good and there is little story to speak of. Like I said at the start, it is your normal hentai.
"The Pianist" is the story of a professional piano player named Seiji that is in a terrible accident that destroys his ability to play the piano. He is taken care of by a robot that is the same model as the one that took care of him in the hospital, that he treats more like a human than a machine. He decides to teach her to play the piano and after taking her to a live concert his efforts eventually pan out
"Dream Hazard" is the story of Kaori, a vary shy girl that has a secret crush on a boy named Senpai. One day she hears of a place that can render a virtual reality simulation of your dreams. She goes and as her dream unfolds she is alone with her love Senpai. Then something goes terribly wrong.
"Momone" is the story of a teacher that had a terrible experience through school, being picked on and bullied by the other students. Little does she know what new threats await her from one of her students.
"Chu 2" is the tale of a warrior named Hikaru that is trapped in a female body, fighting to save a beautiful deity named Pamera.
"Bondage House" is an older style anime with a classic feel. The story starts when a detective finds two men chasing a girl down an alley. He jumps in and saves her. He takes her home to a family that is apparently waiting to kill her for inheritance money from her father’s estate. She disappears in the night after giving her operation to the detective. Now he must find her before the family finishes her off.
"Sins of the Flesh" is another anime with a classic hand-drawn look and feel. The story begins with a painter that wishes to become a man of god. As he was painting on a hillside he meets a beautiful girl and falls for her. That night as he sleeps he is awakened and seduced by a demon. When he catches the priest in a sexual act he blackmails him into staying quiet to get the position sooner. Can he overcome his feeling to reach his goal to become a priest?
"Erotic Torture Chamber", like the rest, has a classic style and feel. The story starts with a medieval fantasy battle where a demonic leader has taken power. Soon after he has his men kidnap the princess from a nerdy kingdom. Where with the use of a special drug he has sex with her. Now her bodyguard Maya has to go to her rescue. Will Maya save her before the Dragon Demon King conquers the world?
The Eye 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Eye 2" is an above average horror movie. After the first one I don’t think this one can compare to the original. The story is more about the Buddhist belief in reincarnation than anything else. The story is good with some big twist during the story and an ending you would never predict. The story is about a young girl named Joey. She is vacationing in Thailand and having problems with her boyfriend. She attempts suicide. When she awakens she soon learns that she is pregnant. That is when she starts to see the spirit of a strange woman. This does not seem to bother her much at first, until she sees the ghost suicide on the subway tracks. Now she has to find out the identity of the depressed specter in order to save her baby and herself.

"The Eye 2" fails where the first one succeeds. The film itself is overlong, and too predictable. It seemed as if the directors didn't even try to scare the audiece too, it just a sequel to make quick cash. Horror sequels often fail hard.
The Eye 10 (product link) Horror / Thriller "The Eye 10" is the final part of the "Eye" trilogy by the Pang Brothers. If you have not seen a Pang Bothers film, they have an almost magical ability to turn the ordinary into the most horrifying things in your life, but they can also bring a humor to the story and keep it serious at the same time. The movie takes place with five friends that are vacationing in Thailand. One night, as they are sitting telling ghost stories, they try using a book that allows them to see spirits, but it does more then that. During one of the first games, one of their friends disappears without a trace. When nothing is found, they return home and try to carry on their normal lives, which gets more and more difficult as the power of the personal hauntings starts to grow. Soon they realize that they have to return to Thailand and finish the book before the book finishes them.
"Philosophy Of A Knife" is a very, very, very, long movie that doesn’t have much of a story or a point. The movie starts with an interview with an old man that lived in the area during the time Japan's research base 731 was operational. The majority of the story is spent with a very calm narrator that gives a brief description of the research they are doing, then a very brutal demonstration of what the procedure was like. I personally would have been more interested on the segments on biological or chemical weapons, instead we just see a lot of physical torture with little understanding of the research being done. Also it is amazingly aggravating at the end of the movie to show the places and memorials in Russia and Japan with no translation. All in all, if the movie has a point I think it is this: be wary of the ways you fight demons, for one day you may find that you have become the greatest demon of all.
2LDK (product link) Dark Comedy / Action/Adventure 2LDK is a dark comedy about two girls that are auditioning for the same part in a movie. Evan though they want the same thing they could not be anymore different. With the stress of an approaching opportunity and the anger they have towards each other comes to a head in a flurry of horrible violence.
The story is amazingly dark and very funny in a way that discusses you to laugh. The ending is very predictable but movies like this are not watched for story. So enjoy the horrible fortunes of these two young girls they would laugh at your pain too...
Samurai Reincarnation (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts "Samurai Reincarnation" is the story of Shiro, a Christian leader whose followers where slaughtered by the government. When the dust has settled, only he was left. This is when he makes a deal with dead spirits floating between the realms of life and death. He would give them life for their own reasons and revenge. The only one that stands in their way of destroying the government and overthrowing the nation is Jubei, a lone samurai. Will Jubei be able to defeat Shiro and save the nation from the supernatural threat?
Mortal Reflection (product link) Horror / Thriller "Mortal Reflection" proves that the entire world loves a b-grade horror film. The story of is a young girl who is raped by two boys, and in her anger she wishes them dead. The evil spirit in her mirror hunts them down and kills them with pieces of glass. When the police start to suspect her, she becomes aware of the spirit that then tries to kill the police and, like all b-grade movies, her new love interest.
I won’t say any more. There is not much to the story, and if I keep going I will give it all away. The kill scenes are decent but few, and the story leaves much to be desired.
Vol. 1: The story starts with three strangers that witness the brutal stabbing of a young woman. They become friends and to celebrate there friend ship they decide to throw a party. But when only Kensuke fiends a date it is starting to look very grim for their party. On the way Kensuke is jumped and his date is raped, they decide to throw a new party, one of blood and vengeance. If you're looking for extreme blood and gore I would go somewhere else. Most of the movie is them being turned down by girls with one big bang in the end.
Vol. 2: The story is pretty much not there. A boy is beaten by a gang for money, and when he tries to find help they kidnap and beat them. Unlike the first part of the series, there is more gore and blood in this movie than you can shake a stick at. There is rape, torture, and death at a premium and you are in the first row.
Vol. 3: The last chapter is about a perverted boy named Kiku. While searching for flies in the garbage, he finds some pantyhose and other personal items belonging to a local women. He starts to have a crush on a woman he knows only through her garbage. He collects parts of her old day planners and starts to stalk her. Slowly he loses all contact with reality.
In Conclusion: This is one of the darkest things I have seen in the course of my life. By the time the credits rolled I felt terrible to be a human. When I had finally finished the series, it proved humans were less than trash. We could take something that meant something to someone and destroy it without a thought or care. “We are incomplete corpses moving through life to become perfect corpses.”
Pray (product link) Horror / Thriller "Pray" is the story of two desperate criminals, Mitsuru and Maki. They kidnap a child for ransom, but when they call her parents they are told that she has been dead for exactly one year to the day. Then whom did they kidnap? When they check on her, she is gone. Thus begins a horrifying game of cat and mouse.
The movie is not very scary and there are few horror elements to it. The story has very little close to the end, but the little there is was very touching. A happy ending to a terrible story.
Battle Royale 2 (product link) Horror / Thriller The game has begun again and the story is more flimsy then before. When they fight each other now, they are broken into teams of two and sent to an island to kill a terrorist, Shuya Nanahar, who has declared war on adults for the Battle Royale act. Some other changes have been made for the change of objective, like they all have guns, armor, communicators... Their inexperience shows when they walk into an ambush set up by Shuya. Instead of killing them, Shuya shows them the truth. They are the same, and a shaky alliance is formed. When this plan fails, the government declares war on Shuya and his rebel fighters. This is when the truly royal battle begins. The action is good but the story is far from great, and the end is a load with several unanswered questions.
Death Note (product link) Horror / Mystery "Death Note 1" is about a law student named Light. He suddenly becomes interested in the fate of criminals the police have been tracking. When he discovers how many go free, he starts to lose his faith in the law. This is when he finds a great gift: a book--and not any book, the Death Note book. Any person’s name that is written in the book will die. But as the death toll rises, the police get suspicious that the deaths are not accidental, and he starts to get carried away with the power of the Death Note. The story is good and the ending you will never predict.
