lazarillo Truth be told, I have gotten really tired of zombie movies. The exceptions though are the serious and arty ones like the French "Les Revenants" OR, conversely, the ones like this that are completely exploitative and cheerfully offensive, but also make "Shaun of the Dead" look like a serious drama in comparison. This is not an actual "zombie porn" film, thank god. It doesn't have interminable scenes of the old "in-out" to turn on weirdos with bizarre zombie fetishes while boring the hell out of anybody else. This is a lot more fun, and really the kind of film that could ONLY be made in Japan.Due to some weird phenomenon, males everywhere are turning "toxic". They start bleeding from their eyes and start raping every female they see. The females have to band together to fight off ravenous hordes of "rape zombies", who have highly poisonous semen to boot, and can only be killed by castration or a gun blast to the genitals. The funniest scenes involve female soldiers forming firing squads to execute "toxic males", who are bound and dressed in bulls-eye underwear so they know exactly where to shoot. The castration and genital blasting jokes wouldn't offend anyone in America, but many people would take the rape scenes way too seriously. Hordes of male "rape zombies" penetrate females who all conveniently have their silicone-enhanced breasts exposed and bouncing around, and of course they eventually end up enjoying the experience, at least before the poison semen does them in. But if you don't let your PC panties get in a bunch, you'll realize these "rape scenes" are every bit as ridiculous and funny as the firing-squad scenes.The main characters meanwhile are four female "survivors" who are holed up in a shrine. The main character, the badass, is played by Asami, who is often called a "porn star", but seems to mostly appear in low-budget sexploitation fare like this as opposed to out-and-out "AV" (adult videos). There are also a pair of lesbians, who have a long scene together--it's NOT true all the nudity in this involves rape. Then there's a very sexy and mature-looking "schoolgirl" (who's even less believable as a genuine schoolgirl then is anything else in this movie). She's so horny for a (non-toxic) man she decides to seduce the young priest of the Shinto shrine, who is seemingly immune to the virus since he has taken a vow chastity. The result of this schoolgirl seduction is pretty predictable, but also very sexy.Generally though, this movie goes for entertainment value first with the masturbation appeal only secondary. I wouldn't call it a "pink" film exactly , but it's much closer to that than it is to actual porn (It's what in other countries used to be known as "sexploitation"--films that definitely USE sex, but aren't NOTHING BUT sex). I don't know if I'll watch the rest of the "trilogy", but this one was pretty fun.

drgreenthumb1001 But thats it...unique idea, but poorly written, produced, and executed.Like typical Jap fair any male characters who aren't zombies are prototypically weak. Girls make bad decisions, get rape-zombied, etc...this is basically SoftCore Erotica. Cinemax wishes it could get movies with this kind of originality.The movie starts of interesting but slows considerably as they find a hide out and stay there for most of the movie...ending isn't even memorableThere's One girl-girl scene, girls aren't scantily clad enough, because most of the nudity happens during the rapes which are to lame and at times, comical, to take seriously...but then again this was made for a different culture then most of ours

Paul Magne Haakonsen Within the last couple of years there has been a massive flood of these blood-drenched and gory movies to make it out of Japan. They are known (and loved) for their extreme violence, amounts of blood, absurdity and for just being downright campy. I will say that "Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead" ("Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead") was a rather stale and boring addition to this rather unique genre of Japanese movies.Whereas most others are just blunt trauma to your face with the levels of violence, bloodshed and oddities, then "Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead" was just one step away from being soft core porn. And yeah, of course, there is an audience for that as well. But enough is enough.The story in "Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead" is about a strange phenomena that turns men into rapists and after awhile they turn into zombie rapists. And women all over the world are in dire peril.That was basically it, the entire movie wrapped up in a short summary. The storyline is entertaining enough in its oddity and absurdity. But it can only carry the movie so far, because there is little else to keep the movie afloat. That is, unless you are into soft core Japanese pornography and really awful zombie make-up.The acting in the movie was as you'd expect from a movie with the title "Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead". So don't get your hopes up here.Personally I think that director Naoyuki Tomomatsu was spending a little too much time filming staged rape scenes with poor-looking zombies, instead of focusing on establishing a proper movie.There are two sequels to "Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead" that I am familiar with, as I found them on Amazon. But at the outrageous price they are set and after having seen the train wreck that is "Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead", then I will call it quits here and not invest in further installments to this low budget sleaze-fest.

rametla1 This is only for fans of Japanese Horror; it's really campy, borders on soft-core porn, special effects are laughable, plot is ludicrous but manages to entertain for most of t. film. If you are a fan of Tokyo Zombie, Dead Sushi, Machine Girl (better Than This), Helldriver, and/or Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl (better than this) then yeah give this a try!Men turn into Lust-filled zombies that beat and rape uninfected women...if they come in their victim t. woman dies!! Only one way to kill these Rape Zombies! If you shoot for t. head you're dead! Shoot for t. ...umm..."other Head"? ..."Little Head"? "Cocktail Wiener"??If you thought headshots to kill "regular" zombies were impossible then you stand no chance in Rape Zombie Land!! On a semi-related note, there some prophecy toward t. third act about a lesbian Sun-Goddess that may or may not save t. world through t. birth of some baby...not clear is t. baby had to be conceived by lesbians (but hey that happens in this movie too!), or if t. baby has to be lesbian...or maybe bi (I Don't Know! Quit rolling your eyes!)...whatever it's toward the end so it won't impact your enjoyment of t. film or t. plot whatsoever!Oh, and North Korea saves t. day by sending a Nuke to bomb Japan...But not really! Cuz North Korea as a hero...yeah, right. But not really.
