'Kichiku Dai Enkai' (1998) - Kazuyoshi Kumakiri.

The controversial student 16mm splatter-fest 'Kichiku Dai Enkai' is certainly NOT ideal dinnertime viewing for those with delicate stomachs! Kazuyoshi Kumakiri's cruel, grievously grisly, low budget independent feature has a rare intensity that recalls 'Last House on Dead End Street', and 'Snuff' with infinitely more effective gore! Uncompromising, brutal, and searingly visceral cinema, the bestial, blood-soaked mayhem in 'Kichiku Dai Enkai' are disturbingly based upon true events! The precociously talented young director,Kumakiri, like, Van Bebber before him documents the sadistic slaughter perpetrated by a group of increasingly maniacal students with a raw, disturbing verisimilitude. Time has done little to soften the bruising impact of the film's demented climax which unleashes a torturous tsunami of genital mutilation, gruesome eviscerations, and splattery shotgun savagery!
