Karaoke Terror (Japan, 2003)

One member of a gang of karaoke loving middle aged women is murdered by a young man. In need of revenge, her friends track him down and kill him. This starts a war where killing one person means someone's going to be next...

With a plot like that it's pretty clear that you're not meant to take the film too seriously. Karaoke Terror escalates to the point of absurdity, and a particular scene with the blood-thirsty ladies was hilarious in the way they avenged another fallen member of their crew. At times you're wondering what the hell you're watching and later on you're cheering for one of the two rival gangs. 

Based on a book by Ryu Murakami who also wrote Audition which got a widely popular adaption by Takashi Miike.


Genre: Drama/Horror
