Tokyo Gore Police(2008)
2008 · Yoshihiro Nishimura · 110 min
In a futuristic Tokyo where police have been privatized and bitter self-mutilation is so casual that advertising is often specially geared to the 'cutter' demographic, Ruka is on a mission to avenge her father's assassination. Ruka is a cop from a squad whose goal is to destroy homicidal mutant humans known as 'engineers', that possess the ability to transform any injury to a weapon in and of itself.

How scary is Tokyo Gore Police?
It kicks off fast and never really slows down, piling one over-the-top violent set piece on top of another instead of building slow dread. The scares here aren't about tension or suspense — they come from nonstop, exaggerated body horror and fountains of blood played almost like dark slapstick. It's less about being scared and more about being shocked and grossed out, in a wild, cartoonish way. This is for people who like extreme, splattery spectacle and dark humor, not for anyone looking for a genuinely creepy or unsettling watch.
On The Horror Database's 0–5 scare profile, Tokyo Gore Police rates psychological 1/5, visceral 5/5, gore 5/5, lingering effect 3/5, and overall intensity 5/5.
