 THE
BEDROOM (Screen
Edge) 1992. Not rated. 63 Minutes. There’s this club called The
Bedroom where all the girls use a drug that is highly hallucinatory and
then they let the clientele have their way with them. It seems that
someone is killing the girls off one by one and the star of our little
opus, Kyoko, suspects her lover, Kei. To discover the truth, she goes to
The Bedroom without the benefit of the drug to discover the truth.
The Bedroom comes packaged in such a way that what you
expect is far from what is delivered. Throughout the packaging the words,
fetish, pornography, sensual, and avant garde are sprinkled liberally. The
rating for the film is 18 and over. This gives me the sense that something
edgier than the norm will take place. Man, what a letdown. At a running
time of 63 minutes this puppy is about 63 minutes too long and twice as
pretentious. I’m not sure of the reason behind the rating as while there
is much fondling of Asian flesh and we do get a couple of very energetic
and horribly faked sex scenes, it’s pretty tame stuff. The subbtitles
are white and there are many white scenes in the flick making the
subtitles unreadable.-Douglas A. Waltz
