Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

suite92 The Three Acts: The initial tableaux: Fifty students jump in front of a train to their bloody deaths. At the hospital, there is consternation over the news and the rail closures; further, there is a power outage and another death. The detectives have many issues to sort out. On a website, red dots seem to count the deaths.Delineation of conflicts: Were the deaths an accident, which would be convenient for writing them off, or were they murders, or were they something else? Who is behind the mysterious websites? Were the 50 youngsters from the same high school? The police have a lot to figure out.On the one hand, we have regular common sense. On the other hand, we have the formation of local suicide clubs that wish to establish a new record on the total number of simultaneous deaths. Are the cops immune to this movement?Conformity and nihilism seem to be working together, hand in glove, but why? Just what are those skin rolls (very long strips of human skin made of segments stitched together) about?Resolution: One question for me was whether the film intended to show supernatural causes, or whether it stayed reality based. If it stays reality based, will the police find the human centre of the problems?

Happy Phantom This film is God. Great plot. Great Message. Great Form. Great Humour. Great Commentary.Acting is good, the characters are archetypes so fits the purpose.Needs at least 2 viewings to get through the meaning. The plot is labyrinthine, while the first characters change through the film. But don't get distracted, the message is there.I saw it at the first year of film school, still have a crush on that film.The effects may seem out of date if you are not tolerating irony very well. 10/10.Would watch again and again and again.

ElTotor As someone on the topic explained it, this movie adapt the pied piper story. Nothing to deal really with Japanese culture as somebody must say. Inform yourself about the pied piper before watching the movie, then everything will be clear!It will allow you to discover plainly the quality of this great movie which is really, really close to the tale. However, it's not a perfect movie,some actors are not totally convincing (but you know, Japanese actors have sometimes a special way of acting, and it appears that in japan, people use to exaggerate reactions in real life to, like a big living theater).The gore stuff are "fun" and still work in a way, but they look flashy and cheap.

Ryan RyRy Richards all i was told about this film was "50 Japanese school girls throw themselves in front of a train in the first 5 minutes of this film" and i was hooked! so i found a copy of the film and began to watch. it seemed like a typical Japanese horror film at first but then it started to become a tad weird when the school kids were all trying to one up the others and get more people to kill themselves. the film was great, the camera work and editing made it even more creepy than it was. but some things just seemed bizarre to me. like why did some guy resembling Lady GaGa decide to kidnap 2 girls and hold them in a bowling alley and decide to kill animals while singing a song?!?!?!?!?! not many thins were explained during this film, but that happens a lot in Japanese horror.but all in all a great film. a definite must see before you die. or one of those films that you have to show your friends.
