A little been there done that, but Japanese
17 December 2004
I have just finished watching this movie, I think. I know Japanese movies are not like your standard American flicks. This movie was a little more subjective than other Japanese movies that I have watched. A lot of Japanese movies are very simple, no matter how many twists they may have. This movie definitely has a lot of holes in it, especially the ending. I think I know where they were going , but I really don't know anyone else who has seen the movie so I cant ask them if they came away with the same interpretation. The movie is okay, the story is okay, I just wish it were either more in depth or gorier. I don't mind giving up a little depth for more gore. One posting on this movie compared this to a Japanese David Lynch flick. I wouldn't go that far, but I understand the comparison. There are no real shocking moments in the movie, no scenes that make you jump or turn away. Even though I was not totally impressed by this movie, I still may go to Blockbuster and rent one of the latest titles in this series to see if they are any different. I'm not sure yet if I would recommend this to anyone else, let me check out more from this title and I will let you know.
