KILLER PUSSY aka SEXUAL PARASITE (2004)

S.O.V.
The madman behind the EXORSISTER and PLAYGIRL series struck an international chord with this twisted tail of a flesh eating vaginal parasite that finally made a splash in the USA. Basically it made its way into cult circles on the strength of the outrageous title alone as the actual quality of the movie is pretty low. But then anyone who is familiar with Nakano's work knows not to expect big budgets, good special effects, top notch acting or coherent story lines. What they DO expect is naked girls, cat fights and bit tits. Lots of big tits. He's sort of the Russ Meyer of Japan in that way, and KILLER PUSSY is right in line with his other work. The movie is equal parts Peter Jackson, Russ Meyer and V.D. scare film.
The movie opens with an expedition in the Amazon where a group of scientists have found some monstrous slug and have it in a Styrofoam crate. A stereotypical witch doctor appears from nowhere to warm them of their impending doom, scaring the female scientist so she sits on the box. One of the other scientists/ actors is fighting really hard to keep a straight face in every shot. The monster burrows through the bow and into her warm love tunnel, thus starting the movie. We get a quick on-screen explanation of what "Vagina Dentata" is then cut ahead a couple of years to a van load of annoying teens who are broken down in a forest. They are the typical teens, a couple of dorky guys and three sex pot girls, differentiated by the size of their sweater globes and the boots they are wearing. Apparently two of the girls had an affair at one time, but it has cooled as the bustiest of the bunch wants nothing to to with the lesbo games anymore, having moved onto man meat now.
They find an old warehouse that clearly says "do not enter" so they do anyway and begin to party inside when the only phone they find doesn't work. While investigating they let loose a frozen gal (the woman from the opening) and the parasite inside of her begins to crawl into the females in the cast, when then begin to fuck their way through the others. From here it's set pieces of sexual gruesome explosions such as the girl who walks down the hallway with oatmeal like cum dribbling down her legs and the dorky guy following her getting turned on. And yes, he eats her out when he catches her - wouldn't you?! Then there's a female on female oil/human blood naked wrestling match that has the women groping and rubbing each other furiously until the parasite slimes its way out of one gals vagina and into the others in the movie's one very effective CGI shot. Not to mention the scene of someone being strangled with their own intestines, or the several bloody castrations while fucking by the nasty, toothy beastie. The creature keeps spawning as well, making the women puke up tiny little versions of itself that are actually like fishing lures that you can buy at any bait shop for about a dozen for a dollar. They wiggle around while being pulled by a fishing line. I'm surprised some carp don't jump into frame and swallow the suckers.
The music is all "borrowed" from other sources. Either Japanese garage and punk rock (which is a lot of fun) or just soundtracks from Italian cult films, blatantly ripped off such as the theme of DANGER DIABOLIK used in several places, as well as the canned music from NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD.
This is cheap jack, nerd out film-making to the max. I am tempted to call it exploitation film-making by the numbers, except that Nakano really has a love for what he is doing, unlike some American no-budget filmmakers who do this kind of shit. Nakano is obviously in his element here and very happy to do it, and he's delivering exactly what he wants to with this movie. Sure, he is pandering to his audience, but only in that he's pandering to his own sick and juvenile interests, too. Nakano is making the movies HE wants to see. They happen to have cheap monsters, lots of bad special effects and blood, and huge tits. I don't think he sits and says "this formula is successful, I will continue to do it". I think he just likes this kind of crap. And for the right price and in the right frame of mind you very well might, too.
