Much
has been written - pro and con - about director Hisayasu Sato and his
bitter, sledgehammer style. [Also see an exclusive interview in Asian
Cult Cinema magazine #34.] His 50+ movies are loaded with disenfranchised
people, lonely victims of urban paranoia, desperately trying to communicate
but not knowing how. Often, his films are difficult to watch, filled with
savage brutality, rape and sexual abuse. He says these images are used
symbolically to "emphasize loftier concerns about alienation"
but his critics say 'dark ultra-violence is the only message, simply atrocity
as entertainment.' In the horror arena, he is probably best known for
SPLATTER:
NAKED BLOOD. Other notable ventures into sexual exploitation are
ABNORMAL
UGLY ABUSE and LOLITA
VIBRATOR TORTURE.
