Kyoko Vs. Yuki

Amateurish to its core and immersed in an atmosphere of dismal low-budget porn (although the persistent sex scenes never really reach hard-core intensity), “Kyoko Vs. Yuki” represents a “worthy” example of the sort of Japanese underground cinema that has become Daisuke Yamanouchi’s stock-in-trade – you need only think of the disturbing “Girl Hell 1999” (1999).

At any rate, the bleak depiction of a Japan overrun with nothing but perversion and violence fails to resonate against the backdrop of a nonsensical plot, abysmal acting, and the programmatic inclusion of recurrent over-the-top “Made in Japan” trash (from the obese nymphomaniac who wears her grandmother’s slippers while screwing, to the hyperbolic sound effects of wet and wild tongue action). Blood flows freely, although the splatter effects seem somewhat crude and shoddy. The extended lesbian-necrophilia sequence is undoubtedly an attempt to raise the bar for shock value.

An appalling mix of sexual perversions and poor taste, capable of satisfying fans of true depravity – basically the only viewers for which such an extreme and second-rate movie is recommended.
