The splatter is unequalled and the mutilation mayhem astonishing in the debut feature from Japanese special makeup and effects guru Yoshihiro Nishimura. Future Tokyo is plagued by a bio-mechanical virus taking the form of a key-shaped tumour. This causes homicidal psychosis in the Infected, dubbed ‘engineers’ for their ability to manufacture weapons out of flesh wounds. Ruka is an officer in the privatised police force tasked with tracking and eradicating this murder-crazed breed. Locating the mysterious source of the contagion, Key Man, her investigations uncover a history of genetic experimentation and abuses of power that not only caused her father’s death but also lead to the highest echelons of fascist law and order. David Cronenberg body horror and insane RoboCop-style TV commercial inserts meet freaky Samurai bondage splat-stick starring Eiihi Shiina of Audition fame. Hold on tight for the bloodiest, most outrageous and inventively enjoyable shocker in ages.
 

Directed by Yoshihiro Nishimura. Starring Eiihi Shiina – Ruka, Itsuji Itao – Key Man, Yukihide Benny – Tokyo Police Man, Jiji Bu – Barbara Man and Ikuko Sawada – Indepedant Bar Girl. Japan 2008, 108 minutes. Web site
