20 Most Extreme Horror Films Of All Time
10. Splatter: Naked Blood (1996)
Splatter: Naked Blood (aka Naked Blood: Megyaku) tells the tale of Eiji, a 17 year-old boy genius. He has created a new painkiller which works by transforming the sensations of pain into pleasure. He christens it "MySon" and is fairly excited about his discovery. His mother is a scientist, working at the local hospital, where she has been conducting experiments involving a new contraceptive drug. Eiji wants to be allowed to observe the final experiment, but his mother refuses. With that, he spikes the contraceptive with MySon, and then watches from a nearby rooftop as the three women chosen as guinea pigs are administered the drug.
The young boy then proceeds to follows the three women in order to secretly record their reactions to the drug. This is where things go nuts. This includes one of the women sticking her hand in boiling hot water for the joy of it and then eating her own fingers. She also cuts off her own nipple to eat before she ultimately sticks a fork into her eyeball and devours that as well. The other women have equally horrific fates.
It takes a strong stomach to keep up with director Hisayasu Sato’s vision - but Naked Blood is made with an intelligence, artistry and sense of wit that pitches it way above the level of low-fi exploitation
