Gothic & Lolita Psycho (2010)

I don't have a weak heart so this movie wasn't so or too scary at all. I saw other more better, but to not let myself drive away by thoughts I will remain stuck to this. I feel pretty impressive with the performance of actress Akiyama Rina in Yuki's role, as a gothic and lolita. Although I am disappointed with some aspects which I will list below.

Story : Doesn't have a bad idea. A normal family, more like a happy family, perhaps perfect in the eyes of Japanese Society. A father, that is a priest and a mother whose,apparently a demon. I find the idea a cliche, why ? Is easy. The idea is that something a good, a pure servant of God to marry a demon ?! And the fruit of their love to be a being half? And as I understood from the movie, the demon, Yuki's mother to chose a better path ? Ok, as I said, the idea is not bad, but, is still a cliche for me. I saw stories like a big, naught , bad-boy mafia leader fall for a naive,pure heart,kind and poor woman ? Oook ... Revenge like revenge, I am a person that wants revenge even for a bug, but ok.If he could, director Go Ohara would thrust on the whole idea with revenge. Maybe for others would be easy digested or . . . not. Well,mister writer Hisakatsu Kuroki,I might cheer for him when I am not so horrified. From the plan,that is at least realistic, is passed, more than three quarters of the movie to the fantasy side,sorry, horror-fantasy.Even if I listed so many bad ideas, the story itself is at least, unique. Offers to the watchers a unique way to express themself (not killing others) but to understand some concepts about life in Japan (more like the bad side) and life itself.
Acting/Cast : The characters are quite reliable. Family, which does not exceed a frame too impersonal, is normal and celebrate a happy day, Yuki's birthday.The bad guys, five at number,failed in a manner in art killings, crucify Yuki's mother ? Each of the 'bad guys' have some special powers (or abilities ?) Well, I felt angry or pissed about Gerao Yuro (Psychic Teacher), I was like : O_o WTF man !? Almost all the battle only flew across the gym and,like from magic, Yuki finds a way to kill him !? Okkk, this fight/flying scene annoyed me very much. I can say, i would give them a 9 because were great, specially Yuki with all her 'seek revenge'.
Music: Maintained the atmosphere properly, and even at the flashback to the birthday,supposedly forgotten, the music (or the one with it) did a great job.
Rewatch Value : I thought about it and well, I better watch the bees. Second time doesn't exist me for this movie. Like how it is said : Once in a life time.
Overall: Because the rewatch value was low, all the movie was drag down, very down. I would give it a 7, with a big indulgence from me. I truly love Japanese Movies, but this : no words. I can say, guys, watch it even when the night comes, if your not weak at heart.

a film about a gothic girl with some enjoyable fight scenes packed in low budget gore.

When the film started I thought "that's some disgusting B movie, isn't it?", but then the first fight scene kicked in, and I thought "wow, if they have more cool fights like this one, I'm all in for watching a girl in Gothic & Loli costume kicking people's asses" and that's what they served me. Well, kinda.

Not all fights are cool, and the cool ones have it's lame moments... some of the character's acting doesn't help (some are really good, like the protagonist and Lady L). Also I'm not a big fan of the director's sense of humor (fart sounds? seriously? lol). Luckily enough this is not a comedy movie, so we're safe (thank god). But perhaps we'd be safer not watching it at all lmao.

Well, if you are in for the plot, forget it. You picked the wrong movie. Like... Come the fuck on, let's have a look at the title "Gothic & Lolita Psycho", it's just an excuse for having a girl in gothic fashion fighting people... because why not? looks cool enough lol
that's the whole concept, the whole thing revolves around it, it's all about the characters and the fights itself, the plot is just an excuse for the fights to happen, and I'm 100% okay with this.

That's it. It's something to watch if you are bored, and like fighting scenes, dark visuals and (who knows) low budget gore. (I'd watch it again, because the protagonist looks cool and Lady L is badass and funny lol).
