dakotahommes:When I was a kid, I saw a scary poster for a horror movie. Someone who had seen it described it to me, and it sounded like the absolute craziest, scariest thing I could imagine. A movie that was creepy and upsetting from start to finish. As an adult, I watched it, and it was just another shitty horror movie with maybe one startling part. But Kuso (2017) is the movie I was expecting, that nightmare, that hype. Kuso is roughly four stories about mutated people living in a post-earthquake Los Angeles. There’s a couple who’s really into erotic asphyxiation, a woman living in a tunnel, a kid feeding his shit to an anus monster in the woods, and a human woman smoking a bong with two inter-dimensional beings. “Terry Gilliam meets John Waters” is an accurate description.It’s been a long time since I’ve watched a movie that made me anxious about what was going to happen next. If we’re judging movies based on the visceral feelings they induce in us, Kuso is a straight-winner. For our generation, when movies start to feel like they’re too tame to scare or repulse, Kuso is a new, stronger drug, to make you feel something again, even if that feeling is only disgust at the sight and sound of a bug crawling out of George Clinton’s anus and squirting fluid into a man’s mouth. -- source link
