Kuso Review

The opening scene is frenetic and features a spoken word jazz, and throws you off kilter immediately.

Buckle up, because this is nothing compared to what is to come (literally, sometimes). I’ll break down the four main story lines below.

Royal

Royal starts out with Kenneth listening through his paper thin walls to his neighbors having sex. His girlfriend Missy comes in and she chokes him with a rope as he masturbates. She says her hands are growing and soon “She won’t need a rope”.

The most striking thing about this is the disgusting makeup and production design.

All of the production design looks like it was done by the show Hoarders. The pillow that Ken is laying on looks like it was a replacement for the notorious cumbox of reddit fame.

In terms of makeup, both of them have the most vile boils and sores all over their mouths and faces. This is a recurring thing, but the boils are heavily featured in Royal.

Also, post ejaculation, Kenneth turns and smears his jizz all over Missy’s face. So there’s that.

Later in the film, when we return to the couple, it’s revealed that one of Missy’s boils is sentient and talks. After reasoning with Kenneth, the boil fellates Kenny boy and Ken bequeaths it with the name “Royal”.

Smear

Smear features a young man named Charlie that lives with his single mother. His mother serves him the weirdest rotten looking soup I’ve ever seen. It reminded me a lot about the Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared series on YouTube.

Charlie and his mother reminisce and worship (?) his dead father.

As Charlie is leaving, a line of black men show up to run a train on his mother.

At school, Charlie has some bowel problems (I would too) and proceeds to shit his pants.

Humiliated, he runs to the woods where he encounters a giant prolapsed anus coming out of the ground with a tongue coming out of it.

He does the only logical thing and picks up some shit and rubs it on the tongue. The tongue slowly, over repeated visits of shit rubbing, turns into the likeness of Charlies father. Then the last time that Charlie smears the anus face, he is electrocuted with a green lightning bolt.

Mr Quiggle

Mr. Quiggle features a two story lines of its own.

B

An up and coming female rapper “B” is a slave to two interdimensional creatures named Kazo and Mazu. She is visited via her toilet by an ex-boyfriend Phil (played by Tim Heidecker). Phil describes raping her while she was passed out, and B finds out that she is pregnant. After going to the doctor to get an abortion and only given a hanger, her fetus is aborted with Mortal Kombat sound effects by her captors. They all laugh.

Manuel and Mr. Quiggle

While in the waiting room at the doctors office, B meets Manuel who is there to get over his fear of breasts. The film then follows Manuel as he visits with Dr. Clinton (played by George Clinton).

Manuel has to then serenade Dr. Clinton’s anus to entice out a parasite named Mr. Quiggle. Mr. Quiggle looks like a giant crawfish.

He then rips off a tentacle and drinks the pussy liquid that comes out of Mr. Quiggle.

When he awakes, Manuel is cured of his fear of breasts.

Sock

Sock is the most Avant-garde of all the shorts and features an Asian woman searching for her lost baby who is “trapped behind the concrete”. She states that she must eat her (the baby girl) to survive.

A disembodied voice coaxes her to go down a hallway where she falls down a hole into hell. She eventually crawls through some intestinal tunnels and her head pokes out of a prolapsed anus in the woods.

Miscellaneous notes I made while watching Kuso

• This is going to be a long movie
• Sound effects heavily featured:
  • Farts
  • Cartoon SFX
  • Mortal Kombat
• This is a movie where you can skip to any point and trip across a disturbing image
• What amazes me about movies like this is that… all this stuff takes as much or more preparation. Someone has to prep that fake poop.
• How did they not get Die Antwoord for this?
• This movie gave me a similar feeling to watching Gummo
