Lights, Camera, Critic writes: One of modern Japan’s whackiest pieces of cinema, Tokyo Gore Police does everything it says on the ‘tin’.

And Tokyo Gore Police, though not based on a manga, follows the recent trend and successfully goes beyond.
Here are some films to get you acquainted with the J-Splatter genre.
