Mai-Chan's Daily Life : The Movie (2014) – Sade Sato.

'Today im going to take your delicious eyeball!!!'

A beautiful young woman (An Koshi) takes a job as a maid at an isolated, apparently dilapidated domicile, and becomes cruelly embroiled in her new master's (Shogo Maruyama) cannibalistic eccentricities. Mai-Chan's Daily Life is definitely the kind of Moorish Grindhouse treat that would have made Ed Gein cut momma's apron strings that much earlier! A darkly sexy, prodigiously gory, deliciously fetishistic J-Horror gem for unrepentant perverts of all ages! No drama was ever made worse by including a scintillating interlude of attractive Asian women hungrily lapping milk from a silver dish! It's also fortunate that up-skirting is practically considered an art-form in Japan, if this had been produced in the UK, the film makers would have been publicly birched for its ruthlessly intrusive P.O.V. Not that I have any nutritional axe to grind, make merry while the sun still burns etc., but I believe that the slinkily sinister head maid's consumption of a lackey's eyeball might be more for show than its negligible vitamin content.

In my many film enthusings, I frequently overuse words like 'elegiac', and while its certainly merited here, I believe 'wholesomely perverse' would better suit Sato's immaculately twisted Mai-Chan's Daily Life : The Movie. 'It's delicious, but it hurts my tongue!!!' not quite sure why this line tickled me so robustly, but it did, so there!!! Part of me didn't want Mai to go into the Red Room, but most of me REALLY did, the director reading the viewer's peccadilloes with unerring accuracy here. Mai also does a really big wee in front of everyone, this fact certainly bares mentioning, as like many other children, I was unequivocally told that this was VERY bad, that I should ALWAYS use my potty when I wanted to do a la-la. One of the grislier sequences is spectacularly nauseating, and I shall never think of a young lady's gizzards in quite the same way ever again!
