Plot – Spoilers:
A Japanese AV star Mai Tsurumi – who stood out in the clutter of her industry – went missing a few years back. Tsurumi had earned fans for her contrasting elegance while performing in niche fetishes like menstrual porn.
Now a couple years later, a female journalist and her crew are making a documentary on the missing actress. Their interest in her case is mostly based on a rumour that Tsurumi disappeared into a snuff film that was later sent to her studio.
Celluloid Nightmares with its tight running time of just over an hour is a gripping watch despite you having probably watched plenty from the genre, including Daisuke Yamanouchi’s other works.
Fun and cool and fun
Fantastic movie, I like this better than Shiraishi’s mockumentary films, and that’s saying something. Not going to lie though, I did see the twist coming.
Even if I knew from the comments that there was a twist in the end, it still got me. Nice one !
This movie was really interesting! I didn’t expect the ending at all, I was pleasantly surprised. I think what I really appreciate about this, is that it’s not TOTALLY mindless gore and sex just for the sake of…mindless gore and sex. There’s actually a good plot, and suspense. Really enjoyed it~
This is nice the plot twist is awesome
It was pretty good, the plot-twist at the end got me ngl. But it’s a shame that every gore scene is pixelizated.
Anyone know we’re to watch more of daisukes movies?
kept my attention the entire time. insane ending, wasn’t expecting it. i expected this movie to just be pure torture porn, but it surprised me. 3.5/5
Muito bom esse filme !
Great ending!
Irony with a twist. A reverse construct film that worth a watch.
Somehow Japanese women who are in adult industry look very decent and homei, as if they are going to bake a cake once they finish funking everyone in the movie.
A very perverse and obscene movie.. But a nice movie too!
ok now that was dope
A wee hidden gem. For the best experience act like what it’s introduced as, makes it more fun ♥
Ok, I’m confused. This website has the movie released in 1999 but IMDB has 1988…. July 1988. Are these two different movies?
estaria bueno que puedan traducir al español las peliculas…
I won’t lie, I watched until the end but sheesh, okay to fill a gap but don’t expect too much.
It had a fun little twist at the end, nice
thank you for uploading this movie! it is very cute i really enjoyed that ^(♥3♥)^
Thanks for uploading so many Daisuke Movies.
Great Website!
woah this was great. i was not expecting that wow. thank EUM again.
Ok this is an effed up movie! But I watched the whole thing. Some of it was funny some was not. Still had to watch.
Finde den Film richtig gut….
If you like pixels, you’ll love this movie.
Um…. Yeah, the world of menstrual porn is tough.
This is a great ad for the creation of Sex Workers’ Union. Porn bosses are notorious assholes and hey, a girl’s gotta make a living right? Union arbitration could have stopped this senseless and absurd atrocity.
Seriously though, this is a “fun” watch that despite everything about it, somehow keeps your interest for nearly an hour and 4 minuets.
