To kill the boar, deer and butterfly by my own hand is my fate. oh I’m never going to recover from this. before going on to make his masterpiece School of the Holy Beast, Norifumi Suzuki made this Lady Snowblood meets Kill Bill hybrid of a sexploitation revenge flick. you know this had me the moment Reiko Ike started slicing up numerous men, completely nude in the snow and in fucking slow motion—that is indeed a mega win in my book. There’s always something compelling about a woman with a sword and a taste for vengeance on her mind, nothing will stop her, not even Christina Lindberg with a whip. surely the title does not lie, the sleaze and gratuitous violence is prominent as is the slicing and dicing, making this a pinky violence delight. the ending ends on one of the highest of over-the-top notes and is easily one of the greatest movies I’ve seen this year. I simply can not get enough of female vengeance flicks. mr. suzuki where have you been all my life!it taste good, doesn’t it?
