Sexandroïde (1987)

People are voting emotionally.

One of my all time favorites.

best movie i've ever seen.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Sexandroide (1987)**** (out of 4) I'm not talented enough of a writer to fully explain that no matter what I say it won't be able to prepare you for this French movie. Three different "acts" are performed with each of them continuing to get stranger and stranger. The first deals with a drunk woman who goes into a bathroom where she begins to bleed from just about every spot on her body due to someone using a voodoo doll. The second story has a creature torturing a woman with needles and then moving to other objects. Finally, a sexy woman performs a sexual dance for a vampire.SEXANDROIDE comes from director Michel Ricaud and it's without a doubt one of the strangest and most bizarre movies you're ever going to see. I can't possibly go into details about how crazy and nutty this movie gets because during all three stories you keep telling yourself that you're not going to see anything weirder and yet it happens. The first story is extremely strong because of the way it cuts from the woman bleeding to the man putting holes through the voodoo doll. The way this is handled is extremely effective and will have your stomach tied up in knots.The second story is just as powerful and especially with the needle piercing, which goes through the woman's nipples but then they take it to another level with them going through her tongue and breasts. I'm not going to sit here and say that I know if it was real or if it was staged but it had me convinced that everything I was watching was real and this woman was being tortured. The third and final act is extremely sexy as the woman you're watching is quite beautiful but that bizarre feeling is still all over the place.SEXANDROIDE is hard to watch at times but it's impossible to turn away from it. It's a gross art-house picture that is actually extremely well-made and it gets all the graphic parts through in such detail that you can't help but also be turned off. There's certainly not another movie out there like it, at least from what I've seen and perhaps that's a good thing?

France is a nation long at the forefront of things that are awesome. De Sade, Bataille, Sartre, Rollin, one could make a long list. But for todays purposes, lets talk Grand Guignol. A Parisian theatrical movement founded in the late 19th century which continued until the early 1960's, it served to horrify theatre goers with its gross displays of up front and gruesome gore. Performances usually involved two or more short plays run back to back, and audience member were said to variously faint or even throw up. In other words, a great success. I'm not entirely sure why the movement faded out when it did, perhaps two world wars and general cultural change were the reason but I like to think that one of the writers saw Blood Feast and promptly decided "Screw it, we've been beaten by the best". Or whatever the French equivalent would be, probably involving the word merde. Fortunately the spirit of Grand Guignol did not entirely die, instead one Michel Ricaud brought it to cinematic life in the 80's, mot glorious of decades. Sexandroide thusly is a set of three tales, lasting just under an hour in duration and delivering quite the mighty blast of sex and gore. First up a lady at a bar falls afoul of a villain with a voodoo doll and her photo. Next we have a goth chick meet a ghoul, with impressively horrific consequences and finally a lady and a vampire result in bizarre amusement. To say more would be to spoil the fun (besides others here have detailed events). Though none of the segments have any real plotting the insanity levels are high and by and large I think it best to see such fare with a clean slate. Suffice to say that the first section is something of a warm up, the middle contains some very nasty fare including some violence that looks rather too real to not be real, and the finale has (probably unlicensed) use of a classic pop tune that will have many viewers laughing out loud. Production values are generally porno standard, though Ricaud does muster occasional visual style, particularly when dealing with the voodoo doll man, using his shadow and shots of his hands and arms rather than dealing with him head on. The gore is nasty, it is more HG Lewis than real a lot of the time, but the mean edge gives it a real kick and best of all, the violence is entirely inflicted upon nude or near nude women. This is probably morally indefensible, but I don't have any problems with eroticised torture in cinema so it didn't bother me. I was more peeved by the fact that despite the title, there are no androids in the film at any point. Seems like a deliberate misnomer, whats up with that? Basically, if you like nudity, torture and utter lunacy this is the film for you. If you don't like these things, stay far, far away. Gets a hugely satisfied 8/10 from me though, job well done.

Man! Did I enjoy this movie! "Sexanroide" delivers a combination that cannot fail. It is presented in a Teatro Guignol format on it's most bizarre expression with a touch of experimental, it has good gore, an unsettling atmosphere, plenty of sleaze and more dark situations.You need to watch the "three acts" of Sexandroide in order to understand how truly bizarre it is.We got plenty of sleaze elements for fans of these kind of films. We got naked women (full frontal), suggestive sexual situations, plenty of torture, gore, decent physical acting, some French weirdness and more nasty surprises.At some point you might think about H.G. Lewis mainly because of the ridiculous gore and some inept situations that cannot reach any understanding.The term "Erotic Horror" comes to my mind... it wouldn't be crazy to call this a soft core horror effort. You see, there are plenty of moments involving sexual situations, naked women, and more.The production values are actually good. I don't know if every act was filmed in a single take. I bet it was. Some takes limit only to close-ups and not so inventive angles. I liked the sexy French women in this movie. Most of them had great bodies (specially the black widow) and were very sexual.I was very confused after watching the movie. I mean, I didn't understand what was going on but it took me more time to understand that I didn't have to understand anything in order to enjoy it.First act. The hot (very hot body) blonde getting it hard via voodoo. She's forced to get naked, puking, gets a bleeding vagina, gets burned, and hanged on.Second act. The depraved specter and the hot goth chick. The goth chick makes a weird dancing and soon after then specter returns to torture her. He pierces her nipples, whiplashes her, cuts his arm, stabs himself and gets his guts out, and then stabs her. Suddenly, they "return immediately to life" and walk out of the dungeon and walk upstairs. Really weird moment. Oh, and there's a romantic moment when the freak gives the goth chick a flower. Nice! Third act. My favorite. Black widow enters a room and stares to a coffin with a white cross painted on. She finds a vampire who suddenly returns to life and forces the black widow to get naked. They struggle and finally she undresses. She takes off her skirt or dress, her lingerie, and her sexy thighs. He grabs her from behind and bites her neck. Suddenly her face turns very white and the vampire returns to his coffin.The hot chick (who got a big, beautiful butt) dances as a stripper (very suggestive) and ends up rolling in the floor touching her vagina. Nice! Oh, Tina Turner music on the background. Then she gets inside the coffin and moves very sexy rubbing her body over the vampire.She puts a sign with a guy making "shhh". Do not disturb. We understand. I'd love to watch what happened inside.Well, this is a very bizarre movie that should be considered only by fans of sleaze and... ultra bizarre.

Sexandroide, the discussion is on of this movie is French or from Belgium. No one knows but what the heck. It duration is almost an hour and 3 stories are told, well, shown, because no story has lyrics. Story one involves some voodoo done on a doll that's performed with a picture. Of course the girl on the picture gets what the voodoo dolly gets, simple as that, but first she had to get naked. A bit of blood, no gore. Second story, some demon a crossing between Frankenstein and The Phantom of the Opera and a girl performing black magic, naturally the girl has to undress and is being tortured by the demon, but here comes the fun part and the main reason why this is hunt after this flick. The girl first got pearced in her nipples and i can tell you, no tricks. After wards her tongue got pierced and then her breasts. But it goes weirder and weirder and is extremely violent and gory. The third storyline is just a girl visiting a coffin, but the dead one is Dracula, he bites her and she strips naked and performs an erotic dance on off all names Tina Turner! The tree stories are soft erotic, even when the third girl spreads it nothing is shown because her full bush. So if you are into gore and naked lasses, then this is your treat but hey, no official release yet and hard to get.
