Tag - aka Riaru onigokko (Beware there may be spoilers)
We know what you're thinking. No, this isn't the Jeremy Renner comedic Tag flic from 2018. This is the Japanese fantasy horror film with English subtitles (yes, we desperately needed to use them.) Mitsuko, a Japanese school girl, is cascaded through a plethora of parallel universes where the fate of her friends and those around her is nothing but terror and death. The opening scene gives sudden shock to the audience when the innocent girl drops her pen in the midst of a feather pillow fight. She picks up the pen (writing utensils to the rescue) only to realize when she stands up "the wind" takes off the entire top half of the bus and the people, which nonetheless leaves her covered in blood.
Mitsuko is continuously terrorized and runs to her next fate only to have her friends killed again. Mitsuko, or is it Keiko this time (she switches characters numerous times throughout the film), is terrorized once again. Marriage. Marathons. And death. Lots of death. Oh wait you're now in the future and in a video game played by Mr. Miyagi with long white hair. Make a big scene and it will all be over.
Moral of the story: Life is surreal. Don't let it get to you. The End.
Best groom: Bloody pig.
Best stolen soundtrack: The theme to the Walking Dead, hope you got the rights!
Best running team: Aki and the joy luck club.
Overall Grade: C for completely confused
