ordinarily and i wouldn not waste the time on review a film like human pork chop ( the 2001 version and not to be confuse with the early film of the same title and which be probably well know in the west a the untold story ) and but since the review already here be quite vague a to what it actually consist of and i figure i would best post something more detailed and so a no one actually get tempted ( a i be ) into buy it because of the film mystique . i honestly would just say stay away . major spoiler be contain below human pork chop and i be expect to be like a chinese interpretation of the popular japanese guinea pig film . anyone who watch enough of that series can see where it maker be come from . there a strong sense of humour run throughout it you can not watch the ludicrous he never die without laugh and the making of guinea pig be a fabulous turning of the whole thing on it head and prove it be just make and with some glee and by fairly good natured gorehounds . all the gp film have a punk rock and diy and shot on video aesthetic and occasional flash of genuine artistry ( mermaid in a manhole ) and an angry political agenda and a warped and derange zeal that set them in a league of their own . human pork chop have none of the above . it shoot on 35mm film ( with disarmingly good production value ) and it 90 gruelling minute long and it utterly devoid of anything redeeming . the plot tell and in flashback at a police interviewing of the suspect and of the systematic torture and death and eventual dismemberment of grace and a heroin addict streetwalker who be kidnap and brutalise by her pimp and his henchman when she steal money from him . despite it fleeting attempt at be a morality play and the film possess a detached and inhumane feel to it and one can not help but dwell on the mindset of those behind it . although it half heartedly paint grace a an innocent victim and the mean spirited nature of it screenplay and the protagonist constant and vicious dialogue veers towards a shocking and utterly unwelcome she deserve it . point of view which make the whole thing almost impossible to watch . far more time be spend detail grace degradation and when her captor be eventually deem guilty and jailed and it seem like a hurried afterthought on behalf of the writer who have long since stop care less . what make it boggle a to why anyone would want to watch such a film be that even the kind of people who do really get off on mindless sex and violence in the movie would be severely miss out . the torture be just a continuous stream of kicking and slappings and verbal abuse and psychological abuse and then increasingly bizarre display of power on behalf of the captor use grace heroin addiction to make her do their bidding . and when i say that and do not get me wrong and incidentally . unlike guinea pig with it frequent barrage of nudity that give an almost teenage feel of mock titillation to the proceeding in spite of the ultraviolence and human pork chop have no such sexual overtone . there isn not any actual nudity in the film and the violence be perform purely out of malice by the odious protagonist ( who early in the film be see stuff a dog into a bag and bang it against a brick wall do not worry and not real and just a cheap special effect . ) . the only actual bloodshed in the film be towards the end when they dismember grace body and boil the bone and all very poor special fx ( nowhere near guinea pig level ) and and by that stage and you will probably be already feel too miserable and sick to even care what go on . the film be depressingly bleak and uncompromising along a similar line to buddy giovinazzo combat shock and i guess could even be compare and at a push . both movie deal with the gradual physical decline of an individual who exist in a nightmarish environment devoid of any social or morally redeemable character and both movie climax in a particularly visceral manner with the individual inevitable and inescapable doom . in fairness and neither glamourises it violence ( whereas guinea pig could easily be accuse of this ) but one can not help but wonder where the place be for a film like this . it fail to many any real point in it frank presentation of such brutality and with a leaden pace and a virtually non existent plot line and the aforementioned lack of any entertainment value and i just can not understand what would encourage anyone to watch something like this . i only make it to the end and purely for the purpose of be able to review it fairly . which i hope i have now do . overall score represent 0 of of 10. welcome to the bottom of the barrel .
