Special Silencers

1982 · 86 min

A gleefully grubby martial-arts fever dream where red pills make trees erupt from bodies, played with deadpan earnestness and cheap, sticky thrills.

Overview: Special Silencers are large red pills, obtained from a forest dwelling mystic, which aid in meditation. However, if used by the untrained they cause a huge tree to grow in the stomach, and burst its way through the skin.
How it feels: Campy, dark, absurd and eerie. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Violence, corruption, power, survival
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content. No swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
