Guts of a Virgin

Well, having recovered from watching the entertaining 'Guts of a Beauty', now it was time to see if Guts of a Virgin would keep the momentum going with the horrific entertainment. Boy oh boy - I wasn't disapointed !!

The story involves a group of folk whom on returning from a fashion shoot get lost in the fog and decide to spend the night in an old house they come across in the woods. What they don't realise though is that en route in the fog they accidentally knocked down the local swamp monster, and he wants revenge !!

Scooby Doo this ain't in this rollicking ride of pervy graphic sex and ultra-gory violence. Whilst 'Beauty' was entertaining in a more straight faced manner, 'Virgin' blows any sensibilities right out the window and goes for the 'who cares' - it's all fun' attitude that's more than welcome in the scene these days.

Having never seen this film before (and not knowing what to expect) I was glued to the screen for it's 70 odd minutes running time, both stunned and amazed by what was rolling out before me. I'd love to mention some of the memorable scenes, but I'd hate to ruin the first time viewers (virgins - ahem) entertainment. Take it from me though, you'll love it !!

Needless to say, the acting is solid stuff and the direction is spot on throughout. And as we pointed out with Guts of a Beauty, there has been some comment regarding a couple of points in the film where there is some fogging over genitilia/penetration shots and yeah, it is slightly annoying but in no way detracts from your enjoyment of the film (unless you are complete nutter watching this gem with your dick in your hand!!) The (limited) use of fogging seems bizarre anyway considering the VERY extreme and VERY graphic nature of the rest of the film.

Like it's counterpart release 'Beauty', the disc itself contains a delightful print of the film with nicely done subtitles in both english and german. The disc also includes trailers for the rest of Japan Shock's current DVD output and when you check this line up out you'll know where all your money will be going with future purchases (Beautiful Girl Hunter and the Evil Dead Trap films look great !)

As far as films go, 'Guts of a Virgin' is a absolute classic that fans of sex gore and mutants should pick up straight away. Well done Japan Shock - keep 'em coming !!!
