A particularly vicious and gruesome killing has taken place in a women’s washroom at a Seoul shopping mall. The victim, a bitchy and unpleasant young woman, given to verbally abusing her stepdaughter, has been stabbed countless times. Two detectives are on the case – rebellious young Jung and the stoic, understated Oh, who prays frequently and is planning to leave the force to become a Christian pastor. As more murders occur, a link between them arises – a sticker of a children’s cartoon character, Princess Aurora, is left at the scene of each crime. The police are baffled, unable to profile the killer beyond their suspicion that she’s a woman. Detective Oh, however, is quickly coming to the realization that he may know the identity of the guilty party. Intimately, in fact. As the body count rises and the horrifying, heartbreaking logic behind the bloodshed starts to fall into place in Oh’s mind, he finds himself dragged deeper into a twilight realm of moral uncertainty and quiet but powerful personal darkness.

Whereas Hostel was for kids, Grotesque is for adults. This is billed as the "cruelest Japanese splatter movie ever" and it truly lives up to that billing. It is no small relief that the film lives up to its Movie title, a torture porn genre that has largely taken over the horror field. No CGI effects here, just sadistic violence that rarely flinches away, use of excellent makeup and prosthetics and shot very convincingly. Needless to say, in the finest tradition of Japanese gore cinema, the plot is minimal, with a young couple played by AV actress Nagasawa Tsugumi and Kawatsure Hiroaki (recently in “OneChanbara”) being snatched off the street, only to wake up shackled in a grimy basement. Without even having the decency to explain why, a particularly sadistic madman (Osako Shigeo) proceeds to degrade, torture and mutilate them. This film is not for the faint of heart.
