Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead 2 – A Hilariously Disturbing Social Commentary
Imagine if the apocalypse came, and instead of zombies craving brains, they were more interested in… well, let’s just say they had a different kind of hunger. Welcome to the bizarre world of Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead 2, where the end of civilization has a peculiar focus on carnal cravings rather than the usual undead fare.
In a plot that’s as subtle as a sledgehammer, a strange virus has turned 90% of the human population into lust-crazed zombies. It’s the kind of virus that your mother warned you about—except instead of avoiding strangers, you should probably just avoid entire cities. The remaining uninfected men of Akihabara, Japan, seemingly blessed with immunity, decide that teaming up with the zombies is the best way to survive. Talk about a toxic relationship!
These uninfected gents, who must have missed the memo about personal hygiene, form a rather odd alliance with their undead counterparts. Their mission? To chase after the surviving young women, who are just trying to live their best lives in a post-apocalyptic nightmare. It’s like a twisted game of tag, but instead of just ‘you’re it’, it’s more like ‘you’re dinner’—and not in the way you’d hope.
The film takes a wild turn as the surviving women, armed with sheer determination and perhaps a few kitchen knives, must band together to fend off both the relentless zombies and the desperate men. It’s a classic case of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’—except in this case, the enemy is a drooling zombie and the friend is a guy who’s probably been wearing the same shirt since the outbreak began.
As the women strategize their survival, you can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. The film plays out like a bizarre commentary on gender dynamics, masculinity, and the lengths people will go to satisfy their primal urges. It’s like watching a group of toddlers trying to share a toy, except the toy is life, and the toddlers are armed with a bizarre mixture of sex drive and desperation.
And let’s not forget the cinematography! The visuals are a mix of stunning and grotesque, which is a fitting metaphor for the entire film. One moment you’re cringing at the sight of a zombie attempting to woo a woman with a bouquet of severed limbs, and the next, you’re marveling at how someone managed to make a zombie apocalypse look like a bad high school play.
In the end, Rape Zombie: Lust of the Dead 2 serves up a heaping plate of social commentary with a side of dark humor. It’s a film that, while undeniably disturbing, invites you to ponder the absurdity of human nature in crisis. So, if you’re in the mood for a film that’s as confusing as it is entertaining, grab your friends, a sense of humor, and maybe a strong stomach, and dive into this chaotic blend of horror and hilarity.
Just remember: in a world where lust reigns supreme, the real question is—who will survive the apocalypse, and at what cost? Spoiler alert: it’s not going to be pretty.
