Girl Hell.....yeah, that title makes sense, but the movie is a different story.

Girl Hell 1999, weird name for a flick huh? Well, it's a weird movie. And the obscure factor rises when you don't know a damn thing what they're saying. That is the biggest issue you'll most likely have with Girl Hell, that is if you're a fan of this type of film. If you're not, haha, it's kinda "pahvoice".

The story like I said is kinda confusing. It revolves around a young school girl who is living in a pretty hellish reality. Her Dad sexually abuses her injured and heavily bandaged Mom...or older sister, which Im not entirely sure which. Her Dad also seems to threaten her quite a bit, causing the gentle daughter to have a nasty inflicted suicide wound on her wrist, that she bites into when things get a little rough. There's a side story where the young girl seems to have befriended some homeless girl who lives near the shore. I have no clue what their relationship is, maybe they just met? Maybe she's the girl's sister, that possibly has suffered from gigantic psychological issues. It's really a guessing game there. Then there is a side story where two young hooligans seem to be reminiscing about past events, and that you realize that one of them was responsible for the injuries of the girls' Mom/Sister. There are a few other situations happening where the young girl's life is fully solidified as being a nightmare, from a perverted businessman to a fat friend who seems to be living life happily but at the same time, not being a true friend in the slightest bit. Characters meet and obviously bizarre and violent events take place.

Girl Hell was pretty entertaining. It had some very dark humor, some very sleazy sex, and some bloody violence. There is one scene where the fat friend is having sex with her sugar daddy....who may be the king when it comes down to being a sleaze bag when having sex. He's screaming and sweating....that was a real funny scene. There was also a pretty sexy scene where lesbian nipple sucking is on screen. The movie has the goods, but like I said previously, you can't understand much, which really sucks. Daisuke is a good story teller from what I can gather, because Red Room was a well-written movie, and I'm sure this would be the case as well. So yeah, if you're into Daisuke flick and extreme/Asian cinema, there's no reason not to check out Girl Hell. 7 outta 10
