Takeshi (Shiro Shimomoto) is a weird old guy who gets kicked out of the house and goes to stay with his nephew Harou (Mutsuo Yoshioka). Uncle Takeshi is suffering from a strange form of narcolepsy, which gives him terrible, erotic nightmares. Whenever he rises from an unexpected slumber, he wakes up with a raging boner and a case of the hornies. Trouble brews when he begins seeing the woman of his dreams/nightmares while he’s awake. That doesn’t sound like a bad thing until you realize she’s a zombie.
Uncle’s Paradise is an odd Japanese “Pink” movie. The first half almost feels like a Japanese version of a quirky American indie flick, with occasional sex scenes sprinkled about. The characters all have bizarre character quirks and at the same time are kind of endearing and likeable.
Things get really weird though in the second half. The shift in tone is a little jarring to say the least. Still, there’s plenty of wild shit here. I’m not saying it works or anything, but any Japanese sex flick that includes attacks from giant squids, big-ass spiders, and venomous snakes (it bites a guy right in the dick after he accidentally cums on it) is going to at the very least skate by with a ** ½ rating. That’s not even taking into consideration the zombie girlfriend or the crazy finale, which takes place in what can only be described as a brothel for the damned.
Sure, Uncle’s Paradise hits as much as it misses. Another debit is the fact that the sex scenes are rather brief. The ending is certainly unique enough to make up for some of its missteps along the way. Despite its uneven nature, any movie in which a guy cums on a snake is going to pass with a marginal recommendation in my book.
