The few genuinely erotic moments are spiked by Sono who, in the throes of his characters' passions, will cut to someone vomiting or to a flashback of "real life" sexual trauma. It is chaotic, disturbing, grotesque. It is, quite literally, the antiporno promised by the title. . . . Sono could have easily made a simple Roman Porno. But he did something more. He turned the entire genre on its head, letting its skirt fall to its knees so we can see all its dirty secrets.
