This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
闷。心理元素运用的可以，总体还是比偷窥者要高级
开篇觉得拍的不行演的不行剪的不行故事也不行，逐渐觉得演的还行，b级惊悚小片拍的也还凑合，剪的也还凑合，故事甚至也算能看了。。尤其最后的装死（虽然很大可能这算是设计的反转）但我真是一直从很早之前就想什么被勒脖子，被打晕，被嗨，总之不是被一枪爆头这种死的不能再彻底的，都可以先装自己死了啊，完事再趁对方放松警惕反杀，可是电影里尤其是勒脖子这一手勒到发现你不动了就放松大喘气、这时候趁机反杀啊真的是，最最后结尾的凝视也不错，无论看不看观众这些都算是小伎俩了可以，介于最近没看啥好片，正常很勉强还行的片子我打算给个日后再看
最后的主角光环太硬翻转了，结局没悬念，但是你起死回生的桥段就太玄幻了
偷窥变态杀人，男人请相信女人的直觉，给女人安全感。影片很平淡。
看了二十分钟，为什么女主晚上都不拉窗帘（包括做爱的时候），就是为了强行契合主题 ，接受不了。
异国他乡，语言不通的设定，加强了被跟踪的惊悚感，剧情挺精致的，只是双方的冲突张力做的不够强，像女邻居，寓所老太，房东等角色，没利用起来，本来变态男最早是偷窥女邻居，女主来了后因为比较敏感，激起了变态男的注意，隔壁街区还刚刚发生女性凶案，这些元素都没有编织好，戏剧性没推到顶，点到为止，导致女主与变态的交锋，都在意料之中，结尾的翻转也有点超现实了，仿佛女主在说:他妈的老公，要你有何用！
一部女性看了会提心吊胆的电影。每次只要想到哪个情节都可能成真，我就心里一咯噔。
结尾有点爱咋咋地，
我觉得拍的不错，气氛到位，尤其握手和地铁那段令人窒息，不过节奏太慢了，要点耐心，还有那无能的老公看着来气，女人要保护自己太难了，稍微警惕点就被当笑话当深井冰看待
2.男主不是《爱恋》男主么，演技真的浮夸。
不要嫁到人生地不熟不讲英语的罗马尼亚就对了！
剧情很俗套，不过吸引力尚可，至少还看得下去
地铁恍见包中物，氛围拉满造惊悚。
20年前拍出来还行吧,有句台词不错,接受不确定的生活..
压抑的气氛做的很棒；专注了被凝视的感觉，其他的都被弱化了；这一枪太假了，如果女主挂了好一些，这样为了爽而爽反而不好；摄影可以更好点？
三星半吧，怎么接连看了两部恐男片。真感觉能体会女性恐惧的还得是女性，能拯救的还得是自己。
偷窥变态杀人，男人请相信女人的直觉，给女人安全感。影片很平淡。
就算高潮只有最后二发子弹 但是基本全程无尿点的流畅
差点和《偷窥者》搞起来 都是同样的一对男女 同样《后窗》式的神秘感 却是截然不同的故事 两部我都很喜欢 果然心理惊悚才是最精彩的
结局差点意思。如果是罪犯与男友刚好错开一点时间出门，提着割下的女友人头前脚离开，女友过去打开门发现女友的无头尸体，画面定格在男友惊恐的脸上当作结尾还差不多。既惊悚又留下悬念，还有一点反套路。
