Tokyo Gore Police (2008)
Dir- Toshihiro Nishimura
In the future, Tokyo has privatized its police force as they fight against the threat from deadly mutated humans called "Engineers." Ruka is a police officer tasked with hunting and destroying Engineers but her quest to find her father's murderer will reveal some dark secrets. Tokyo Gore Police was directed by Toshihiro Nishimura and starred Elhi Shiina, best known for her role in Audition. Tokyo Gore Police is well named; the film is gory and features some genuinely grotesque body horror-related mutations. The action is intense, and the movie has the feel of a Manga story. Despite this, the film has some great dark humor that helps carry the viewer through this orgy of mutations. While not well known outside of Japan, Tokyo Gore Police has become a cult classic and one of the best J Horror films this century.
