**Avoid at All Costs**
This is easily one of the worst films I've ever seen. It is vile, reprehensible, and degrading. I have watched a lot of bad films (I tend to seek them out) and this film is bad. It is bad in ways I never would have imagined films could be bad. Every scene invents entirely new ways for films to be bad.
I am including IMDB's content advisory because you need to know this in case you decide you want to watch this film:
* Sex & Nudity: Severe
* Violence & Gore: Severe
* Profanity: Severe
* Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking: Severe
* Frightening & Intense Scenes: Severe
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.
And yet...there is something about this film that exhilarates me. There is something about the god-awful wretchedness of this film that makes me feel more alive than most films. There is, incredibly, a moving and profound death scene ("Kiss me, I'm dying"). There is the amazing song Nobody Can Live Forever by Tim Maia, which is now on my Top Ten Favorite Song list, and which I might never have heard if I hadn't watched this film.
But this is not a great film. It is bad. It is a bad film. Do not watch this film.
9 out of 10 stars.

I'm just gonna assume that Mr. Sherman was on crack when he wrote the screenplay for this flick.

Written and directed by Adam Sherman, She's Just a Shadow revolves around a young woman and her family in Tokyo, along with her abusive gangster, a sadistic, perverted, serial-killer who ties his victims (all being women) to a railroad, and last, but not least, numerous prostitutes prancing around in their birthday suits; yeah, it's as jumbled as you would expect.Let me start off by mentioning the direction ... It's fine, nothing spectacular, even when it's questionable at times; I'll get to that in a little bit. The writing however, let's just say that a 1st-grader could've written a better script than this. Like I said, it is a completely jumbled mess. The characters are mostly 2-dimmensional, especially the lead, and the acting, well, let's just say that 'wooden' would be too kind of a description for it.And last, but certainly not least, I should mention the over-the-top violence and the needlessly gratuitous-nudity. First and for most, I am not a prude (quite the opposite in fact), nor do I have anything against blood or gore, as long as the two actually do something to service the plot and/or story-line. The gratuitous nudity did nothing to service the plot as much as it was used simply to pander to adolescent male viewers while the over-the-top violence was added purely for shock-value; and if you've actually seen the movie, you know which specific scene I'm referring to.All-in-all, if you're a hormonal edgy-wannabe teen, knock yourself out and give this one a watch. Otherwise, do not listen to the positive reviews on this platform, they're liars. All that being said, I'm giving She's Just a Shadow 3.6/10 stars.
