That was an excellent one.
Crappy film
Better Late Then Never
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The Last Supper is a stylish, bloody, and sometimes darkly funny tale from some very twisted minds from Japan. I was reminded of Paul Bartels' equally sadistic cannibal themed film from the early 1980's, Eating Raoul.Dr. Kotorida is a rich and famous plastic surgeon to the stars. The man has a strange taste for the flesh of young women. He murders the girls, butchers and fry's them with all the right seasonings. I was reminded of Dexter from the Showtime series who kills people but is a normal police lab investigator to everyone around him.Director Osamu Fukutani and Masaya Katô as Dr. Kotorida have created a memorable screen character as I have seen in a long time. This is not for the squeamish or for those offended by blood but I was definitely entertained for 93 minutes.
I really took a chance with this film, knowing nothing about it I bought it for two dollars because it sounded interesting.From watching the Tomie series, I knew I was in for something dark and sinister; thats just what I got.The main character who enjoys the taste of women's flesh is appalling as it is exciting. As horrible as it may sound, i must say that I didn't want him to get caught for some reason. He is literally killing women and eating them, but he's so cool and collected throughout.If you're tired of main stream American horror films that are watered down and filtered out, then this movie is for you.
I watched this film the other day at the Dead by Dawn festival, and i must say what a film! A plastic surgeon realises that to truly lust/love someone, you must eat them. This is a fantastic film, with some excellent moments. This film actually makes cannibalism look appealing - human meat never looked so good. When the surgeon steals the human fat from his surgery and then fries it is easily the one point in the film that i thought i was gonna be sick - disgusting, sick, vile.... but bloody great! I actually came out of the theatre wanting to sink my teeth into some meat, and so did the other guys i saw it with. The film went down great at the festival and easily was the film of the day - except probably to the promo of Worst Case Scenario - If that film gets made - its gonna rock hard! All in all a great film thats worth watching it if you can.
I have just seen this at Edinburgh's Dead by Dawn festival and was thoroughly impressed with it. I had never heard of it before so had no idea what to expect.A renowned plastic surgeon and budding media darling develops a taste for human flesh after taking a bit of lypo-suction fat home with him, frying it up and having a munch.It's a pretty sick concept but has good comedy moments in all the right places. It is almost a pro-cannibalism in the way the story is told and is unlike anything I have ever seen before. It went down really well with the festival crowd and was easily film of the day.It is also very well shot, with some excellent lighting in certain interior scenes, superb timing and decent acting throughout. Very implausible at times, but that does not take anything away from it, and fans of Japanese horror will be used to this anyway.I hope lots more genre fans get to see the surprise gem.
