10 Weirdest Ideas Turned Into Horror Movies
10. Tokyo Gore Police
When it comes to finding something utterly bizarre and nonsensical, Japan is an utter goldmine, and not just for movies. Japanese horror filmmakers are renowned for creating some of the strangest, yet most creative things to ever exist, but there are none stranger than Tokyo Gore Police.
Tokyo Gore Police is a sci-fi horror film about a young woman called Ruka who is a member of the authoritarian Tokyo Police Force as an Engineer Hunter. Her job is to hunt down Engineers – psychotic people who have been mutated by a mad scientist and can now turn any wound they receive into a dangerous weapon. Stylistically, Tokyo Gore Police is a grotesque mixture of Starship Troopers, Kill Bill, and The Island Of Dr. Moreau.
The strange plot is just the surface level of weird, as this movie is every single shade of strange: from mutant snail people, to quadriplegic dog-women, to Engineers with guns for eyes, chainsaws for hands and a crocodile for a sexual organ. It’s non-stop insanity from start to finish. It’s one of those movies where it’s good to have a nap afterwards because of sheer exhaustion from trying to comprehend what on earth you’ve just witnessed.
