Kuso

A Passion Project

"Movie: Starts out with a large amount of gross-out, and as it went through several seemingly disconnected scenes I wasn't really sure about it. However, by the time it started establishing the various threads by returning to them I had started to see some of the connections. I've also watched a lot of Salad Fingers and other David Firth YouTube videos, so I felt prepared for the bizarre grossness on display (I was thinking about David's work even before I was surprised to see his name during the flash mid-movie credit). Overall it's a fascinating mix of _stuff_. Mr. Quiggle was delightfully absurd, and definitely my favorite vignette. The other vignettes all had interesting things going on, but the movie as a whole was not really more than the sum of its parts. Extras: Enjoyable interview with the director. The FX test and both image galleries are a good length - not too long. The two short films are also nice to have, especially if you liked the tone of the movie. Book: Good information, including a concise list of the names of the vignettes in the movie, which I couldn't fine elsewhere. Packaging: Great slipcover that captures the spirit of the movie. The disc is also appropriately gross."

Brought forth from the void. . cuz photoshop

"Freaking love the flying lotus interview especially the Ren and Stimpy influential connections. Story is kinda good but the fluid slathered deviant feasticular skull fukered visuals is where its at. "I don't want no dry puppets no dry people, its a juicy movie. ""

Goo

"What a gross movie. Any fluid you can think of, it’s here - and lots of it. Not exactly sure of what to make of it overall. Will say that Steve had a vision and an aesthetic in mind, and definitely delivered on it. But I can’t say I fully connected to any of the stories or the characters really. Besides the shock and gross out factor, not a ton resonated. Still a cool release with interesting use of mixed media. The weird 3d animation and paper cutouts were a highlight. Oh and all the goo too. So much goo."

This film was quite something.

"This film was quite something. A lot of gross and surreal things going on in this film. This was like watching snot blow out of someone's nose. I was never bored with it, I found some of it entertaining haha!"

The Hole is the Gateway to Hell

"Fascinating film with four stories intertwined in a corrupted post apocalytpic California. Loads of cum, pus and feces. An obsession with holes. Bodyhorror Comedy that stretches the image of what a film is. Kuso is the japaneese word for shit. Highly recommended for the more adventorous wievers."

Saw this one a while

"Saw this one a while back on DVD, probably drunk or at least tipsy, so my memory’s fuzzy. What I do remember? It’s absolute bonkers—like someone threw a blender on max with all kinds of weirdness and gore flying everywhere. It’s chaotic, gross, and somehow hypnotic. Not your usual horror flick, that’s for sure. I really wanna watch it again, this time wide awake, to see if it’s as wild as I think—or just a drunken hallucination. Either way, if you’re into messed-up, off-the-wall stuff, this one’s definitely worth the ride."

Disgusting Foray into Edginess

"Kuso on Blu-ray is a technically strong release for a film that’s almost impossible to stomach. The transfer is crisp and the audio well balanced, which unfortunately only amplifies the grotesque visuals and surreal chaos. It’s an intentionally repulsive experience, full of bodily fluids, nightmarish imagery, and pitch-black humor. While the disc includes extras that explore the creative intent, they do little to make the film more digestible. For fans of extreme cinema, it’s a bold, uncompromising piece. For most others, it’s likely to be a one-and-done endurance test."
