What should you expect when watching Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead? Expect tapeworms. Expect flatulence. Expect zombies crawling with their butts in the lead. Expect bad jokes, CGI blood, and a nonsensical script. In short, expect feces, both literal and cinematic.The film follows a group of teenagers who venture out into the woods to help their friend, a model, find a tapeworm so she can lose weight. They stumble upon a village infested with zombies and learn the true power of power of parasites and rocket powered flatulence.Zombie Ass's main flaw is that it is nowhere near as funny as it thinks it is. It's material never gets beyond fart jokes, which grow old after ten minutes or so. Adding a CGI cloud does not make a character farting any funnier. The film also suffers from bad special effects, in particular weak CGI. The only thing it really has going for it is that it literally has no limits and gets a laugh by virtue of its audacity.
Starting this movie, I thought I knew what I was getting into. I've seen many Japanese Comedy / Action / Gore movies in the past. I loved Meatball Machine, Mutant Girls Squad and Tokyo Gore Police. So when I started Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead, I was sure that I would enjoy it.I was wrong.This movie has almost has almost nothing in common with those I listed above. There is very little action, very little comedy and very little gore.So what do you get instead? Girls farting. Girls waddling around with their underwear down. A girl getting an enema. A girl getting feces smeared all over her. Tentacle molestation. More tentacle molestation. I felt like I was watching some sort of extreme fetish pornography rather than a normal movie.To sum things up: I want an hour and twenty-five minutes (and thirteen seconds) of my life back.
Rather than looking at the title of this flick and thinking "oh, another stupid American style zombie flick", you should definitely be considering this as a Japanese action/gore/over the top madness flick. If you've seen this director's other films (Machine Girl, Tokyo Gore Police), then you know exactly what you're getting into. Blood, gore, fecal matter, tapeworm zombies, farting, more fecal matter, spinning tapeworm heads, kung fu fighting.... etc. You get it.Personally, I love these Tokyo Shock flicks for all they're worth. Some folks will certainly hate this stuff, cuz frankly, most Tokyo Shock is absolutely bizarre and weirdly fetishistic. But hey, if you can't laugh at some tentacle rape and ridiculous farting tapeworm zombies, why are you even here? Lighten up, have some fun and pop in a good ol' fashioned Japanese Shock Action flick like this and laugh a bit.
I think this movie just knocked PINK FLAMINGOS out of first place for the BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN.The plot is wild enough... a highschool girl's older sister kills herself because she (the older sister) farts on cue to protect her (the younger sister). But the rest of the movie... you've got toilet vampires, a tapeworm that enters and exits anally, a mad scientist, a girl who learns kung fu because she's bored and watches Chinese movies, a cocaine car driver.The ending is positively feminist! The heroine learns to "let it out," and not be inhibited in the typical, embarrassed, girly way. In letting it out, she becomes a fart-superhero, a future savior of humankind.With special effects up the wazoo (literally), this is the movie you'll sit through again and again... bringing your friends who'll be amazed and converted.
