The opening moments feature an elderly woman and a mute girl brutally murdering a married couple, but the film quickly loses steam in pursuit of psychological twists and would-be homages to Brian DePalma; none of it makes sense, and even as a spoof it lacks ingenuity of any kind. It's one of the worst films I've seen in a long time, and probably the all-time worst Japanese film I've ever seen. It looks homemade, and the writing is shit. They got me with a well-designed DVD box, I'll give them that; but in all honesty Living Hell almost justifies another atomic bomb attack on Japan or at least a mutant viral-bomb that might disable all the fucking videocameras there in the hands of inept filmmakers.
