This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
还有，有些剧情真的很刻意，时间顺序也很乱，就无语
我真的蛮无语的，一些人一边喊着自己唯物主义，一边觉得晦气狂喷导演打一星，看恐怖片还想给你弘扬什么正能量吗，干脆去看主旋律好了
午夜凶铃似的传播、感染，看谁信了邪。对于伪记录式恐怖，我是完全过滤的，但影片结尾的诅咒，就像面孔上溃烂的百双眼睛，像密密麻麻的齿龈，密布的恶虫要往脑子里不安地钻
女主角就是个害人精over，还没那个大家都懂的台游吓人。有些地方渲染得挺恐怖的但你手持摄影晃来晃去我看不清啊！带着观众互动那一套倒是挺新鲜的，从贞子录像带到把这条消息转发五个群再到老铁们弹幕刷起来，我们真的相信传播的力量吗。被咒是增加恐怖感啊没想到因为这个被打低分，咋的如果电影最后说本片被开过光票房能破50亿？
不要盯着那些经文看!
《瞬息全宇宙》、《奇异博士2》、《咒》……看明白了，妈耶，2022年是妈年！
换句话说，假如我是导演，我真的信这样一个邪神，然后我拍一个电影用观众的恐惧飨荐祂，而此时的作者-读者关系以及情感链条基本没有变化，也就是说作者是否认为它是虚构的根本就不重要…
8.0分
电影本身没有对得上我的期待，只能说是很新奇、挺有趣、还不错。
期待近一年的华语恐怖电影，乡俗宗教+语言在伪纪录片形式的加持下代入感不错，伪纪录片通病-无论何时何地都要拍-难以避免，剧情算是意料之内，中规中矩，所幸有叙述剪辑弥补，时间线交叉慢慢抵达真相，层层诱导观众的互动设计并不新鲜，但似乎仍有不少人真情实感上纲上线，不由得想起某款游戏，反思迷信却因一张符纸而被特定地区封禁，有种虚构作品内核与现实互相呼应的感觉。
整体观感不错，不过电影还是美化了，可怕的是现实
詛咒即祝福，祝福即詛咒。劇本亂（尤其不同時序的穿插常令人納悶，未解點多，人物邏輯困惑〔如阿清師〕，現在110分鐘片長感覺也是扔掉很多、努力壓下來的結果，通常恐怖片不會這麼長），不過作為一個形式走得比內容更激進、也更應關注之作，對於每一場戲的官能與節奏處理（真正嚇人時刻其實很少，更多是懸吊著的高壓緊繃感），放在近年台灣為數不少的民俗恐怖片系譜下是一時之選；想想柯孟融從當年輔大大一拍短片《鬼印》爆紅，中間歷經顛簸（《絕命派對》反應不佳，《鬼音》沒下文，而恐怖片成就後有晚輩程偉豪《紅衣小女孩》系列樹立標竿，西進發展不如同輩陳正道成功，大製作《打噴嚏》命運多舛⋯），在奔40歲前也算奮力交出一個終有迴響的代表作。偽紀錄片，特效比例頗高，邪教元素夠邪門。密集恐懼，噁心元素，視覺詭計。
教女主必胜方法，中指食指并拢指向恶灵，大喊:退……退……退……退……
细腻而真实。疫情相关的电影就是需要这样的反思。Jodie的演技好有张力…
导演真的故意恶心人，大姨真的给我吓着了，结局我都麻了，我在想电影怎么还不结束还不结束，啊，怎么还没结局？大姨不会又出来吧？！没剧情也不能就硬拖吧，这两个小时真的给我看麻了各种初中生吓人的小把戏，转发这条说说你就可以免于诅咒？还玩密集恐惧真的很无聊，大多数的恐怖设计都是别人用过的，镜头真的很刻意没有镜头语言，故意拍记录，故意给特写，别大家都看网络上的短视频看到没有审美了吧？昨天我刚看的死亡录像谁能也体验一下这种感觉？最后我想说的是，给我的这条评论点个有用就能消除你内心的恐惧 :)
叙事逻辑和多处的心理暗示很高明也很卑鄙，这部片子确实是让我认识到有时候某些“艺术禁令”是有必要的。有宗教信仰的朋友不适宜观看。
正确面对疫情的打开方式，不是歌功颂德，而是去反思，积极的应对，比较走心。
太无助了
本片與《絕命派對》相比，最大的進步在於，完全脫離了西方恐怖片的概念，更多的來自於台灣神秘傳統（一個混雜了怪奇軼事，歷史，想象，空間時間交錯的世界）。除了取材於台灣神秘的特殊文化所虛構的大黑佛母外，編導亦把各種密宗，印度，東南亞的符號圖像和引述，起乩，中邪的奇怪手勢放進台灣的深山邪教中，一方面地豐富了恐怖內容，另一方面則突出製作上的考究以及反復強調對傳統文化應保有敬畏之心的主題。除了以奇怪的祭品，陰森的聲響以及黑暗中的光線等視覺描繪突出了大黑佛母的可怕之處，更令人恐懼的是，是當恐怖真相逐漸揭露之時，逐漸有一種心理上的不安出現，面對大黑佛母的無計可施，無疑更能強化了這種焦慮不安氛圍。
人只有不害怕 值得歌颂
