Watched 27 minutes from it and had to stop.
Almost 10 minutes of r*pe, from sucking and licking to fingering with zero censoring.
Not very surprising but for me it's just too long to be justified as any thing more than just p*rn.
The most brutal thing I've seen in torture porn. Although curious psychological tricks of the torturer
Wow. This was, well, grotesque. One of these "only in japan" movies. Also one of the most disturbing movies ever, for sure. I like it!

Grotesque is unique in the sense of being the only extreme horror movie I have ever seen with moments that are truly romantic, alongside moments of sadistic violence.
The beginning is a little slow, but once the gore arrives, it picks up speed. This is absolutely a torture porn, and it takes the phrase to be literal, not a metaphor. At times this feels more like a fetish film, and less horror: there is nudity, vomit, piss, and squirting (yes). The gore effects are done very well, the acting is surprisingly good, the story is interesting, the dialog is believable. At under an hour and a half, it still feels slightly long, but I would totally watch it again, and I get the sense it would move faster upon another viewing.
For what is otherwise a very serious movie, it does get a bit silly when Aki's head is cut off, which then launches into the air, and proceeds to bite The Doctor on the neck. Funny though it may seem, I genuinely got a little choked up when Kazuo walked over to free Aki, knowing that his intestines would be pulled out, and he would die to save her. I've watched several extreme horror films, but this is the only one where I almost started crying because there was a love story.
Grotesque is very well made, and fans of extreme horror/torture porn will enjoy this.
