Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the trailer of this movie, there's a scene of a person faxing herself, thus committing suicide. This is actually part of the security guard/nurses subplot of the movie, that had to be cut out because with it, the film would have been longer than two hours.
- GoofsWhen the students jump to their death on the school roof, you can clearly see crew-members throwing buckets of fake blood at the window.
- Quotes
Child: Even if you were to die your connection to your boyfriend would still remain. Even if you were to die your link to the world would remain. So why are you living?
- Alternate versionsTwo different R1 versions of the film exist, an R rated version and an unrated version. Not only can they be differentiated by the unrated version having a red stripe on the cover, but they have different pictures on the sides of the DVD cover (the unrated having a picture of Mitsuko). There are six additions to this version of the film.
- In the subway scene in the beginning, the shot of the girl hitting the tracks is extended long enough to show her head getting run over by the train.
- In the school sequence, the ear is now shown being pushed off the roof of the building.
- In the suicide montage the portions showing the woman cutting off her own fingers is extended dramatically, and there are a few more lines added to the background song to accommodate this.
- In the scene showing the introduction of Genesis, there are two added parts of him stepping on a cat, and then crushing a dog under his foot.
- In the scene of Kurota's suicide, the gunshot has been extended long enough to show the bullet actually going through the back of his head.

Featured review
Like Modern Art
To me, the best comments I have seen about this movie are those that say something like, "You're not supposed to understand." Like a roller coaster, it takes you through some shocking and scary stuff and leaves you back where you started with a queasy feeling in your stomach and the desire to ride it again.
Like modern art, different viewers will interpret Suicide Club differently. If you are not imaginative, or if you are closed-minded (some people just are -- there isn't anything wrong with that), simply avoid it. But if you like to be mentally challenged and left not knowing all the answers sometimes, then you'll really like this movie if that's what you're in the mood for.
I'd like to hear more about what other people think Dessart represents. The movie did not ridicule the girl group (average age 12.5); on the contrary, it assigned to them some kind of sinister power. Sure, the easy answer is that, as a pop group, they represent conformity and mob mentality. I think, though, that they might also represent the power of youth, not only over the young, but over adults as well. Were we supposed to like their songs, or not? Their positive, upbeat songs stood like sunny little islands in a hurricane-ravaged sea. I liked them.
