Oh my.
It's been a long time since I've seen a real slice of gore, and this Mai-chan certainly changed that. It's not an expensive film, nor is it what you'd call subtle or tightly directed, but when it comes to the big shots, Sato is definitely at home.
A bit of a gimmick, of course, and the first 20 minutes aren't particularly impressive. Maid costumes, a sketchy landlord, limited cast, and a ton of harsh filters to counter the cheap look (not very successfully, though the editing does add something).
Then it suddenly turns out that Mai (a maid) has some strange condition that allows her to heal wounds, no matter how destructive. And what do you do then, as a colleague? Start cutting and eating like crazy, of course. Mai isn't exactly thrilled about it, but ultimately, she doesn't mind it that much.
Thank goodness, because the film builds to a grotesque finale that serves up gore just as it should. Filthy, over-the-top, completely insane. A fitting finale, which the film certainly needed, as the first half hour is a bit lackluster. The ending makes up for a lot. This isn't particularly good cinema, of course, but horror fans who have been a bit squeamish about gore in recent years shouldn't be taking much of a risk with this hour-long trifle.
3.0*

The film adaptation of the infamous manga is primarily a cheap collection of poorly acted, naked women, and, towards the end, a generous dose of intestines splashing onto the camera. Director Sade Satô doesn't have much to do, as the story has already been planned out for him. He adds little himself. Mai Chan's Daily Life looks cheap, has terrible acting, abounds in poorly designed gore effects, and above all, does very little with the familiar concept. So, what's positive? A concentrated focus on showing a few nasty images that somehow still leave a lasting impression. It's undoubtedly an insult to cinema, but what do you expect when you bring this kind of source material to the big screen?
