Eat the schoolgirls: Osaka Telephone Club - Naoyuki Tomomatsu - (1997) - Japan


Plot by Imdb: "Two young adults are doing dirty works for a yakuza gang, making sadistic rape/snuff films. Both of them are sexually obsessed; one is addicted to telephone sex whilst the other can only function sexually, whilst seeing mutilated female corpses."

Before joining the  Nikkatsu's "Sushi Typhoon" production team, alongside with Iguchi, Nishimura and many others, Tomomatsu made this very disturbing picture, that has very little to do with his futur absurd-gory-tongue-in-cheek productions, like Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl. More a Pinku movie turn gross, "Eat the schoolgirl" is to be handled with care, as it is obviously not for everyone. Not for your girlfriend, for example.  The amount of misoginistic sadism and extremely deviant male behaviour is difficult to believe. But the real interesting thing is the stylistic archievment that this movie represent: It is as weird, twisted and unsafe as other masterpieces of the genre like "Angst" or "Henry". Higly recommended if you can stomach this style of production, it shows once again that even a small production in a sub-sub-genre (pinku horror) can result in an impacting and memorable movie. 

A dark, dark shocker from an interesting director. Watch it at  your own risk.
