Bite Me if You Love Me Film Review

A technical question. If you have sex with a zombie, is that still necrophilia? And if you have sex for the first time after you are dead, are you no longer a virgin? Mind you, this is not for any personal reason. These are just questions posited in this bizarro world Japanese film from director Naoyuki Tomomatsu. You are probably familiar with his work from his Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead film series or if not those no doubt Scissorpenis is on your To Watch list. Somewhat to my surprise, I realized that I actually did see his film Stacy a bunch of years ago and gave it a 6/10. It's about zombies. Clearly an obsession of this director. So are panties as we discover going on. This begins as if it is going to be a quirky romance between schoolgirl Hitomi (Ai Haneda) and a shy bullied schoolmate. She loves zombie movies and manga and can go on about the difference between Romero and Fulci zombie films and makes reference to the Hammer 1966 The Reptile. Kind of the cool girl in school and very attractive. Not too surprising as I learned later in checking out the actress that she is an adult film star. The boy is nicknamed Mr. Zombie. How cute. Maybe it is going to be a Japanese My Sassy Girl type of film. Well, no.

Mr. Zombie thinks she is interested in him but she needs him for two things. To translate a French book from Haiti for her - about how to make a zombie - needs a magic stone, ashes of a corpse and poison from a blowfish. That is what the internet is for. Then she needs a dead person to try it on. This is easily facilitated with panties. A high school girl's fresh panties as she tells him as she leans over the railing with hers - as he reaches out to grab them - she pushes him to his death. An old Japanese ninja trick. Beware of panties.

She sprinkles him with their potion and sure enough it works as he comes back at his funeral. Giddy with delight, she takes him home and as rigor mortis sets in realizes that a certain organ of his body is in that state and makes use of it. What I thought was going to be a sweet off-beat romance suddenly gets quite randy as she clearly isn't shy. Trouble is the film really has nowhere to go after the first 30 minutes - he begins to decompose - gets hungry - and is fed. It just gets even stranger if possible. The director has over fifty film credits, so there must be a market for this sort of thing in Japan. I would doubt that many of his films have had a release in the West. But who knows. I did pick up Stacy at Kim's Video Store way way back.
