20 Cult Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die
17. Tokyo Gore Police (2008)
In the near future, self-mutilation and cutting have not only become acceptable, but trendy (to the point where products are marketed to the cutting consumer and secret fetish bars exist showcasing the latest “modifications”). In this brave new world, the Japanese police force has been privatized into the Tokyo Police Corporation. Their primary goal is to exterminate “engineers”, people who, via genetic enhancements, are able to turn any injury into a weapon they may use to their advantage.
Tokyo Gore Police is quite simply a parade of bloodshed, samurai action, modern sci-fi horror mixed with campy over-the-top heroics and creepy characters popping in left and right. TGP is pretty much a gory circus of eye candy. There are so many surprises along the way, that the imaginative basis is mind boggling. To name a few; there is a girl who becomes an alligator from the waste down, another who sprays acid from her breasts, another who has attached swords to her severed limbs and even a villain who can shoot claws from guns mounted in his eye sockets.
TGP is indeed quite inventive and throws about 100,000 gallons of red stuff at the screen. For J-Horror fans and gore-hounds, how can you resist this depraved little number?
