Movie Reviews of Crazy Lips
Movie Review: This Movie Has Warped My Fragile Little Mind
Summary: 5 Stars
With the decline of good American-made horror movies, I've been delving into the Japanese and Chinese films. Crazy Lips starts with a family in crisis. The older brother has been accused of murder and is on the run. The two sisters and mother are hounded and harassed by the press and the police. They have rocks constantly thrown through their windows. As a last resort the youngest sister goes to a psychic medium to help her locate her brother. This is where things get strange. When you see the scene with the corpse you know that horror movies have risen from the grave. How warped that scene is! How twisted, and yet refreshing to be freaked out by a horror movie again. The end is amazing. It's about 15-20 minutes of martial arts, with axes.
Summary of Crazy Lips
When I say this is a vile and nasty film, I'm saying that as a recommendation. For what I perceive to be a very polite and mannered society, the Japanese certainly crank out some of the nastiest and ugliest horror films you (n)ever wanted to see, and this one is no exception. This one, however, has some comedy to it, and it's not exactly slapstick but a couple scenes come kind of close, in a twisted way. A family is plagued by reporters and police because supposedly the son is a serial killer, and one girl enlists the help of some psychics to help find the real killer, because she knows he's innocent. However, the psychics turn out to be psychos too, and subject the family to all sorts of indignities, which is putting things rather mildly. There are some goofy FBI agents (in Japan?) and some headless zombie girls wandering around, not to mention a bunch of way nastier things that go on. One girl even sings a song while she's being tailed by Lucy, the blond Japanese FBI agent....most weird. At any rate, if you love the new wave of weird Japanese films out there then this is truly worth checking out, it'll mess with your head.Similar DVD Movies
