Rape Zombie Lust Of The Dead 2: More of the same

[Platypuschow · 3/10 · 9 July 2017]

The first Lust Of The Dead despite being ridiculous, misandric and crass was certainly memorable if nothing else. Horny zombies and nerdy zen virgins vs a female militia. The sequel actually continues the lore quite well, you simply wouldn't expect a franchise like this to have lore at all let alone this good! Equally crass but a bit tamer overall you can tell this had a lower budget as the sfx have gone from bad to truly dire. Like going from the original Sinbad movies to something Blue Peter would make.

The originals charm is missing but though the franchise is bad there is something about it I find endearing even though I have no idea what.

Zombie movies simply have never been weirder than this. If George Romero and Ron Jeremy ever made a movie together it would look like this. Come to mention it am I the only one who thinks that would be a great idea? Trouble is Hollywood wouldn't dream of touching a franchise like this, too risqué, too controversial and too damn messed up.

Just when I thought Japanese cinema couldn't raise my eyebrow any higher than HK: Forbidden Superhero (2013) we have this.

So hide the feminists, prepare for sfx that makes the scyfy channel look like professionals and brace yourselves for groin shooting action once again.

Improving a little from the first movie

[dasa108 · 3/10 · 6 July 2021]

It is a film that improves a little to the first of the saga. I'm not saying it's a big deal but at least there is a development in some characters and on the other hand we see that there is a certain aim in the sequences that are definitely the attraction of the film. Even so, it is still mediocre at all levels ... As much as it represents the murky fantasies of the average Japanese, it is still lacking in quality for trained stomachs like those of this server. Only for fans.

Even worse than the 2012 movie...

[paul_haakonsen · 2/10 · 15 October 2022]

Right, well I had watched the 2012 movie "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead" years ago, and I vaguely recall it as being a really, really bad movie. So as I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2013 sequel "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 2", it was with quite some reluctancy. However, I opted to give it a chance on the account of it being better than the first movie.

However, I have to admit that I wasn't harboring any expectations really to writers Yûko Momochi and Naoyuki Tomomatsu to deliver something outstanding. I mean, just look at the title alone, and the fact that the movie is starring Asami.

And as it turned out then "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 2" was every bit as bad as the first movie, and then some. But hey, if you enjoyed the first movie then you'll also enjoy this sequel. I didn't enjoy the first movie, nor did I enjoy this 2013 sequel.

The special effects in "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 2" are exactly that; special. And not in a good way. The special effects here are very low budget and amateurish. But then again, of course there is an audience out there for a movie such as this; perhaps a mostly Japanese audience I suppose, since this franchise has spawned five movies.

And with "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 2" being as bad as the first movie, I am not even going to bother with the rest of the movie. This is definitely in a league of its own.

My rating of director Naoyuki Tomomatsu's 2013 "Reipu Zonbi: Lust of the Dead 2" lands on a very generous two out of ten stars, mostly for the effort they put into making this movie.

Just plain dumb

[PedroDoud · 1/10 · 15 February 2019]

While the first one is not a enjoyable or smart, in any way whatsoever, this second "movie" in the franchise is just plain dumb. It fails in every level. Not a single aspect of this is salvageable. They even have a scene where the actors walk in place pretending to stroll down the street on a green screen. This is laughable, and not in a "so bad its good" way Furthermore, how is this not called just porn?

More of the same.

[BA_Harrison · 5/10 · 27 December 2017]

I'm not quite sure what director Naoyuki Tomomatsu is trying to say with his Rape Zombie films, if, indeed, he is trying to say anything at all. Are the films a condemnation of Japan's rape culture or a celebration of it? Are women responsible for such a culture, as one male character suggests, or is this outlandish opinion a satirical swipe at misogyny? Who knows?

What I am sure of is that Lust of the Dead 2 delivers enough sex and violence to please those who simply love Japan's more outrageous cinematic efforts. This second helping of deviant weirdness continues on directly from the first film, which ended with the nuclear devastation of Tokyo and the birth of a glowing baby to lesbian couple Momoko and Nozomi (Alice Ozawa). Married couple Shinji and Maki (Ren Miyamura) are forced to leave the safety of their home after an attack from a zombie, and wander the apocalyptic city landscape, where they are hunted by platoons of Otaku (virginal Anime fans who are unaffected by the zombie virus). Fortunately, the couple find sanctuary with an armed group of women who are keen to run tests on Shinji to discover why he is not a zombie. Meanwhile, a sexy American robot sent to aid the survivors does battle with the Otaku.

This chaotic plot serves up quite a lot of cheapjack but very messy gore and a fair amount of female nudity, as per the first film, with lots of Asian cuties being abused by the zombies and a completely gratuitous lesbian tryst. There's also a steamy scene in which Nozomi satisfies herself while looking at pictures of Momoko, her hand going to work on her boobs and under her gusset. The gore is, once again, a mixture of real effects and shoddy CGI, but it's wonderfully over-the-top: an early decapitation and emasculation of a zombie is suitably blood-drenched, while a man cut in half by the robot's laser results in lots of slippery internal organs hitting the floor. Also rather memorable: a really manky looking zombie with a huge sperm cannon, and another that talks to the female survivors, explaining why it rapes (in a manner not too dissimilar to the chatty half-zombie from The Return of the Living Dead). On the downside, the visual effects are even worse than the first film, with the ruined city backdrops looking particularly awful.

A lifeless movie.

You would have to be a zombie to enjoy this rubbish. Poor plot, amateur actors & special effects that look like they fell out of a corn flake box. I usually enjoy films that are against the grain, but this has to be in a poor league of it's own. I should have known this would be as bad as it's title. You really would be better watching a blank screen.

MOE IS DEEPER THAN THAT

[nogodnomasters · 8/10 · 17 January 2019]

Nuclear torn Tokyo has become ground zero for the ultimate battle of the sexes and most men have been turned in rape zombies and those that haven't, like to watch. The film is basically zombies rape women. The backdrop of Tokyo is drawn. I don't recall seeing any woman in a sexy nurse's outfit depicted on the cover, but the blond is an android who gets raped in her first scene. She has laser beams that come out of her eyes and other weapons for her orifices. Zombie men can only be killed by having their little head cut off. The Amazon women live in a man-less society, go figure the end result. During a zombie rape attack, the camera is jerked around to create excitement, because disfigured zombies ripping the clothes of a whining woman isn't enough.

On the surface the film seems like mindless trash to indulge the male fantasy, and it is, but at the same time it contains commentary directed at men who like Anime women as being part of the problem. There is discussion of sex vs love, the outlaw of rape, and man's primitive urges needing to be satisfied by women who only refuse them.

Guide: The film shows a large deformed male organ. Women are frequently topless. One quick bottomless scene on Blondy the robot, and she looked like a mannequin. Most likely a flesh g-string. Not much plot and barely an hour in length.

Slightly flawed if still enjoyable sequel

[kannibalcorpsegrinder · 7/10 · 4 March 2017]

Following the outbreak of the virus, a group of survivors trying to survive in the world with the zombie rapists finds that a greater threat might soon be lurking from a cult that intends to follow through the zombie actions and forces them to fight off both threats.

This was a decent and overall enjoyable follow-up to the original. Much like that effort, a lot of the positives here dwell from the ability to focus and feature the rather explicit and extreme material with real ease. The way this one exposes the opening shots of the woman getting attacked and the zombie getting dispatched by the group makes for a stellar introduction as to what's going on in this one, and with the later scenes involving the one zombie with the engorged and comically-large private region getting involved in the action or scenes of the cyborg going through the group of soldiers in grand fashion let this play with that kind of familiar sleazy thrill quite easily. There's other good stuff in this section away from the action, with the talking captive head revealing the nature of their desires and dreams while the various softcore romps including the new lesbian sequence or the reminiscing through the photograph come off rather well in their sleazy thrills, yet the scenes at the rally following the exhibition of the survivor and her demon baby come far closer to reveling in the rather depraved atmosphere present here which really goes quite a long ways towards making this one watchable. There's only a few zombie swarm scenes here which still provides the gore and bloodshed rather nicely, which along with the explicit nudity really gives this one all that it has to like about it. There's a few problems here, as the film's biggest problem is the same with the first in the fact that there's such a hard subject matter to take into account here as the film attempts to support the theory that women are there simply to have men have sex with them as the chemical only affects men. Turning them into sex-crazed maniacs rather than flesh-eating hordes who will attack any and all women as often as they want wherever they want sends quite a strong message and the continuous sequences showing multiple men abusing and raping women in incredibly explicit and sexual means doesn't come off in the best light. Even still, the low-budget nature in the enhanced amount of obvious CGI during a large part of the scenes does hurt this one somewhat which looks cheap and out-of-place in the rest of the film, and they don't really seem as necessary as it should've been. The other flaw to this one is the rather low amount of zombie action in here which is even more overt due to how quick the film really is, as it barely cracks an hour and yet doesn't have too many scenes with the zombies in action, giving this one a much more dragged out pace than it really needed. It's still enjoyable, but there are some obvious flaws to it.
