Visitor Q


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Bree, Tim, Amberly, Jordan

What a trailer. It's probably hard to find enough footage in this film that is actually usable in a trailer though.

I really love this film. It makes me happy at how sick and twisted it is an yet for the characters everything ends up fine. It's the story of a very dysfunctional family and a mysterious strange that just comes into their lives and somehow together, intentionally or not, they manage to work through all their problems and become a functioning family unit. So basically it's Mary Poppins, but better because it has no songs and more incestuous pedophiliia, heroine, sadomasochism, necrophillia, murder, violence and a whole lot of lactating.

It's a little hard going at first but the final sequences are the stuff of genius. The way the characters fine solace and contentment in the most depraved and sick ways, and the fact that they are so happy about it leaves one with very conflicted feelings. I love that you can have a happy ending while at the same time feel so sick for thinking that.

This is one of Takashi Miike's best films. It's extremely low budget but the actors pull you though with their exuberant performances. If you're a fan of hardcore cinema check this one out. It's shocking and hilarious and most horrifying of all, has a big throbbing heart in the middle of it.
