Eating Schoolgirls: Osaka Telephone Club (1997) User Reviews

That wound looks good enough to climax in.

[ElijahCSkuggs · 5/10 · 11 December 2007]

Eat The Schoolgirl....I think one guy "ate" a schoolgirl a little bit. But if they wanted to have a more appropriate title, it would have been called Eat, Stab, Bang, Punch, Rape, Choke, Grope the Schoolgirl. I may have missed a couple other verbs, and I don't think there's a verb that means "to force an enema on someone". Maybe, expulsion? Eh, whatever.

Like the others who reviewed this flick I'm also at a confused state when trying to explain the story. And that is my biggest problem with this flick, it really just had a bunch of characters doing nasty stuff to other characters. One dude has a fixation on "coming" on fatal, bloody wounds. That same dude also dresses up as a schoolgirl and kills/rapes people. Pretty busy dude. Then there's a Sex Line girl who he's grown fond of with scars where she possibly had Angel wings. There's a horny kid with a stutter.....eh, forget this, the story sucked. The movie is only brought along by the gore, sleaze, occasional erotic moment and just the whole nasty feel. Not even close to being one my favorite Japanese flicks. At only an hour long, it almost wears out it's welcome, but thankfully it's chock full of sex, nudity and wounds filled with sperm. Overall, it's not a good film, a crappy one actually, but it has so much of the "good stuff" it turns out to be a average viewing experience. Definitely not for everyone.

hmmm... not great bukkake

If you like porn, rather get the real stuff instead. Music is annoyingly cutting... I mean it's not working. I mean I've seen better stuff... this has got no plot...

It's just trying to make you feel sick? Not working not for me... this is crap.

The intermediate scenes look like crap... the sounds are awful. I had a friend in college who would have liked this kinda stuff as it's little different, well he does noise, I guess if you're into noise, and think it's good music well then you might like.

I mean you won't be missing anything by skipping this one... I wonder why do I watch so much crap.

I'd give this one 3/10 so keep away... keep away. Although I have seen worse... if you like the dominating japporno get that instead.

If Marian Dora made a film in Japan?

Where to even begin?

This film is about two young guys who seem to be doing dirty work for the local yakuza gang. Both are incredibly demented in their own way (one of them is just obsessed with sex and the other one is perhaps even more crazy because he's into phone sex as well as violence in all forms). The more demented guy for some reason walks around dressed as a girl and kills off people in various ways (mostly with violent knife attacks) and after he's finished he cums on/in the victims wounds, talk about messed up! During this he's pretty much told by an angel which he has visions of to commit these crimes. Another scene which I felt was hard to watch was the long drawn out rape scene commited by at least 4 yakuza members, after this just for the hell of it they decide to inject her with some kind of laxative and well... I'll let you figure out what happens next.

That's pretty much it in terms of storyline.

The storyline is very weak but I also think that it's main purpose was to shock and I can say that they did succeed in that aspect. You don't look for films like this expecting superb storyline, you are probably here because of the sleaze, shock, blood or gore effects. For me personally I was there for the shock and it did indeed shock me in one way or another. I think the acting overall was ok but I have to give most of the credit to most of the female characters in this film since they probably had the hardest parts among everyone involved in this project.

Lighting was good since it was a low budget production but I think some of the camerawork could be done better. Like i briefly mentioned before the blood and gore is really good in this film and that was probably the best thing anout the whole film (that and the acting by the women).

There isnt too much to say in terms of music/score, it felt very bland. Some of the editing was interesting as well.

Finally I would like to say that this is a very hard film to rate, it delivers in the shock aspect and that was the main point of the film to begin with so props to the filmmaker.

I would say I'll give this film a 5 out of 10. Keep in mind if you wanna watch a shocking film, look no further, this film delivers!

To sum up this review I would like to say this, it has lots of body fluids and it did remind me of various work by german director Marian Dora.

Japanese Exploitation

[a-dobbs · 2/10 · 15 April 2008]

British cinema-goers of a certain age will doubtless remember with fond affection the now extinct phenomena of the second feature; a shorter, often low budget 'mini film' that preceded the main event (which in my day usually had Doug McClure fighting some men in rubber suits) and were usually funded by the Children's Film Foundation. One thing that the Japanese film industry seems to have excelled at over the past fifty years or so is the production of such sub feature length, low budget 'fillers', but rather than tales involving a pre-pubescent Keith Chegwin foiling kidnappers, these Japanese shorts have been exercises in enveloping stretching when it comes to the abuse of young Asian females.

The pedigree can be traced back to Koji Wakamatsu's art house shockers 'Violated Angels' (1967) and 'Go Go Second Time Virgin' (1969) through to the infamous 'Angel Guts' and 'Guinea Pig' series of films, to recent efforts like 'Seketsu No Kizuna' and 'Mu Zan E'. Besides scenes of horrendous and graphic violence inflicted upon women, what these films also have in common is a pretension toward intellectualism, probably in an attempt to legitimise the proceedings in a "Hey, but it's art so it's OK" kind of way. And this mentality leads as nicely to 'Eat The Schoolgirl', because pretension is something that this film has, and has in spades.

Directed by Naoyuki Tomomatsu, 'Eat The Schoolgirl' concerns two young adults who eke out a living doing dirty work for a yakuza gang whose main line of work seems to be making genuine rape/snuff films. Both of them share an obsession with sex; one is addicted to telephone sex whilst the other can only get his rocks off over the sight of eviscerated female corpses. Throughout the film, he is visited by a naked female angel (sometimes with wings, sometimes with scars where the wings used to be) who tells him to go out and kill. This he does in graphic style with the added kink of being dressed as a schoolgirl while he does so.

In terms of plot, that's virtually your lot. At least, that's what the whole film boils down to in the final analysis, despite what the filmmakers would have you believe. At barely an hour long, Tomomatsu simply does not allow enough time for any of the 'mysteries' of the plot to unravel. There are hints and flashbacks that suggest our cross dressing killer witnessed something bloody and traumatic as a child (a plot device that's strongly reminiscent of similar in Scavolini's 'Nightmares In A Damaged Brain'), but it's never developed enough to provide any kind of satisfactorily explanation as to what's going on or to give any depth to the film as a whole.

And that's the main problem with 'Eat The Schoolgirl'. Rather than develop the identity and motives of the 'angel' and the killer, or to give the two antiheroes any kind of contextualising backgrounds, he prefers instead to focus on lengthy and extremely unpleasant scenes of women being abused, raped, or given forced enemas by cackling males who delight in filming the attacks on video and clearly regard the women as nothing more than objects.

Although Tomomatsu is best known for 'Stacy' (though 'Eat The Schoolgirl' pre-dates it by around four years), anyone expecting more good natured blood and gore in the humorous and slapstick style of this later film should be on their guard; 'Eat The Schoolgirl' plays straight as a die and is completely devoid of humour or any moments of light relief. The violence is frequent and bloody and the special effects, though nothing particularly 'special', are graphic and gritty and leave nothing to the imagination. The sex/rape scenes, although never hardcore, are as brutal and harrowing as anything in better known shockers like 'I Spit On Your Grave' and are not at all easy to sit through.

But sit through them I did, largely out of interest as to where Tomomatsu was going with the characters and situations, and it so was with some disappointment to find, when the credits rolled, that he wasn't going anywhere with them. Instead, 'Eat The Schoolgirl' plays in style like a jumble of cut up images and ideas that recall a 90's MTV video, a clear example of style over substance with the underlying idea seemingly being that the introduction of some ambiguity and mystery will excuse the images of a naked woman being disembowelled in a shower and her killer masturbating over her writhing body as she tries to hold her intestines in. Subtle? Certainly not, but the feeble attempt to pass off such tacky, exploitative fayre as 'art' leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.

All known body fluids on show..

[christopher-underwood · 7/10 · 18 July 2005]

From the director of, 'Stacy' and pre-dating that film by about 4 years, this is more bloody, less coherent and a bit shorter. It is also extremely weird, hard to follow and packed with sex and bloody death. All known bodily fluids are on show here and all exhibited within a sexually explicit context. So, a naked girl is sick down her front before her assailant cums in the stab wound he has inflicted between the merry moments of their sex and her death. I don't think I need to go into all the gory details but rest assured that all fluids do indeed make an appearance, for good or bad! The opening sequence of phone sex seems a bit strong but it is probably the easiest sequence to take (and it's erotic). From there on as we struggle to make sense of everything, really nasty things happen, like the slit open nude girl, struggling to maintain her balance in the bath as she also struggles to stuff her intestines back inside her. There is so much more and yet the film barely runs an hour. Oh yes, there is an angel too, naked all through the film - I'm not sure if she was a schoolgirl but she didn't get eaten. Actually nobody got eaten, unless we count the numerous scenes of oral sex. Enough!

Another repulsive Japanese horror film.

[HumanoidOfFlesh · 7/10 · 16 March 2006]

Directed by Naoyuki Tomomatsu,"Eat the Schoolgirl" concerns two young adults who made a dirty work for a yakuza gang by making sadistic rape/snuff films.Both of them are sexually obsessed;one is addicted to telephone sex whilst the other can only function sexually,whilst seeing mutilated female corpses.Throughout the film,he is visited by a naked female angel who tells him to go out and kill."Eat the Schoolgirl" is a sick and disturbing Japanese horror flick.It contains lots of rape and sexual abuse.We see Japanese women viciously raped,sexually degraded and even given forced enemas by misogynist Yakuza members.Unlike rather amusing "Stacy","Eat the Schoolgirl" is devoid of humour and that's why it's so incredibly offensive.The violence is truly brutal and sadistic and the gore effects are sickening.The rape scenes are nasty and the level of sexual violence is very high.7 out of 10.You'll need a cold shower after watching this sickie.

Pretty Nasty "Extreme" J-Sleaze

[EVOL666 · 7/10 · 8 April 2006]

I honestly can't tell you what Naoyuki Tomomatsu's (of STACY "fame"...) EAT THE SCHOOLGIRL (aka EATING SCHOOLGIRLS: OSAKA TELEPHONE CLUB) is about. It seems to be a strange amalgamation of surreal "art-house" film and all-out Japanese filth. There is some sort of storyline that ties it together, but it is hard to follow and threadbare. A lot of it seems as if it's supposed to be dream-sequences, but these are hard to tell apart from the true action of the film...One thing I DO know - it's pretty nasty stuff...

Two guys who are sexually obsessed work for some Yakuza thugs who make hard-rape films. One of 'em dresses like a schoolgirl and goes around slicing people up, raping them, and jizzing in their open wounds. The other guy disembowels some chick. There's some sort of angel with her wings cut off that has something to do with all of it. The Yakuza guys kidnap this one girl, beat the hell out of her, rape her, then give her an enema in a pretty nasty forced-enema-doody-expulsion scene. Yup...that's about it.

EAT THE SCHOOLGIRL is pretty primo sleaze for those into the newer wave of Japanese perversity films. It ranks up there in the filth department with some of the other more notable works of Japanese sickos like Daisuke Yamanouchi and Tamakichi Anaru. SCHOOLGIRL lacks any of the goofy elements that makes STACY a "fun" watch - this one is pretty much all-out depravity. The rape and sex scenes are very long and protracted, to the point of almost becoming dull (except for the car-rape-chest-stab-wound-jizz scene...that one is pretty strong...). I actually think the film would have been a little stronger had they shortened a few of the sex scenes and thrown in some more gore - but that's just me. Definitely recommended for the filth-fans out there, but clocking in at right around an hour - it felt like it was missing something. Oh yeah...and there is no schoolgirl-eating - unless by "eating" they meant clam-diving - in that case, there's plenty of that. I pray for the day that the Japanese are allowed to show full-frontal and actual penetration in these hybrid gore/sleaze films - I think they would be untouchable in the repulsive department. Worth a look to "extreme" J-gore/sleaze fans - 7/10

eat the perverted school girl

[trashgang · 7/10 · 17 November 2008]

This movie surely got my attention. The cover alone gets your attention. So I was able to catch an official release of this flick at a horror convention. Due the fact that this one is only one hour long I thought that it would be an easy task. It wasn't, the beginning of the movie has a lot of cuttings and weird images of a murder watched by a child. The movie is full of gore, sex, slaughtering and sickening images. Especially the rape scene. The girl had to take a lot and I won't spoil the ending of the scene but it's disgusting. Of course it's a HK Cat III flick but it really gets you. The idea's of the sex fiend is, well perverted. This one couldn't been made here in Europe or the US. It's a sick movie that now has his proper release, catch it and watch it, but be sure you have eaten a while ago.

Logic is replaced by a bucket load of sick sex and sleaze

[The_Void · 6/10 · 1 September 2006]

Director Naoyuki Tomomatsu is probably most famous for his lame zombie comedy 'Stacy', and it is because of that film that I didn't have much hope going into this one. However, for what it is; Eat the Schoolgirl is a surprisingly nasty, and entertaining, little flick that works in spite of its complete lack of plot. The director clearly has some sort of obsession with schoolgirls, and this one starts out with a young lady having 'phone sex'. The scene is actually quite erotic, and got my hopes up for the rest of the movie. I have to say that the film never topped that scene for me, but there are several other memorable sequences - the 'sick' sex scene in a car made me pleased I'd finished my lunch before watching the movie, and a sequence in which a girl tries desperately to stuff her intestines back into her chest takes the cake for one of the most morbid things I've ever seen in a film. There's something to with a tranny who dresses like a schoolgirl, and some lass who's had her angel wings removed (err…naturally). The film is basically just a collection of mostly unrelated scenes involving blood and sex, but most of them are memorable enough to ensure that you're unlikely to care that the film doesn't make sense, and even though this is a silly piece of schlock cinema; and it's a good job it isn't on for long, I've got to say it's one of the better films to come out of modern Asia.

Kogyaru-gui: Oosaka terekura hen (1997)

[SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain · 6/10 · 13 December 2011]

Disturbing and sick erotic thriller. Two guys work for mobsters. Each of these guys is very horny in their own way. With one only being able to ejaculate after killing someone. To each their own. Eat the Schoolgirl is here to shock and titillate in a very sadistic way. The film is filled with rapes, violence, and violent sex. There's also an angel, and a rather nasty scene involving poo. The film never pushes itself far enough. It would have been more successful had it just been balls out horrific. If you're into your Japanese pinku movies, this is probably one of the better ones, as it never really pauses for any real acting.

No schoolgirl eating, but plenty of other sick stuff.

[BA_Harrison · 7/10 · 18 December 2014]

If you've seen director Naoyuki Tomomatsu's zombie film Stacy and thought that was a bizarre little flick, wait until you get a load of Eat the Schoolgirl. Full of sex, revolting gore, rape, and general weirdness, this sleazy 60 minute exercise in extreme cinema doesn't make a lot of sense, but is short enough to ensure that it never gets boring (that's the understatement of the decade!).

The film OPENS with a hot Japanese chick performing phone sex whilst her client has a five-knuckle shuffle, and gets worse (or better, depending on your point-of-view) from that point on: we get to see a psycho killer who likes to dress as a schoolgirl and mutilate his female victims before jerking off over their wounds (in one case, after completely disembowelling them!); a sexy angel (minus her wings) who isn't quite as angelic as she looks; and some Yakuza gangsters who abduct a woman, rape her, and then administer an enema—whilst filming the whole thing!

At times, with its incomprehensible narrative and 'creative' cinematography, Eat the Schoolgirl resembles an art-house film; for most of its running time, however, it's simply a classic example of extreme Eastern excess, and one you won't forget in a hurry.
