All Night Long 3 (1996) – Katsuya Matsumura.
'Trash is really much more charming than People!'
The third impressively sleazy instalment in Matsumura's scintillatingly sordid All Night Long dark-lord opus, queasily examines the increasingly malign misadventures of introverted Kikuo (Yujin Kitasawa). A listless drop-out, idly working shifts at an insalubrious 'love' motel, whose obsession with carnivorous plants disturbingly escalates to decidedly less reputable activities! I only wish more horror films featured massively strange, painfully inward perverts rummaging eagerly about in grotty rubbish bags, hoping to find a young woman's discarded toiletries.
A true freak unique, Kikuo is a delightfully gross, bum-sniffing gobshyte, and shall remain a source of profound inspiration for many years to come. While I don't consider myself an especially timorous individual, I don't believe I would have accepted the hugely unsavoury Dust Hunter's invitation to visit his unconventionally creepy domicile! While bespectacled Kikuo's inevitably murderous decent into utter degradation is telegraphed from the skeevey 1st act, maestro Matsuma, once again, memorably creates some inventively distasteful scenarios. While I believe it is entirely just to claim that the often extreme content of All Night Long 3 may not be agreeable for all tastes, CAT III cognoscenti will have already enthusiastically given their two thumbs up, modesty precludes me from revealing where!!!
