This will be a quick one. Hell, the film itself was only 70 minutes long so why stretch this out?
I’ve watched subtitled films before (and I prefer them to overdubs) but I was concerned I’d have trouble following a Japanese film. Not sure why, but I was. The Japanese nor the subtitles gave me any trouble.
What gave me trouble was the bouncing from storyline to storyline until they all connected. I had to go straight to Wikipedia to find out what the hell was going on. Once I had a clue, I actually enjoyed this film a lot. Great job building suspense. Not too much gore. (Girl with no jawbone was really the worst of it although I could have lived without seeing a dead baby in a sack get banged all around the town.)
So this is how brief this entry will be: Much to my surprise, I liked this movie and I find myself wanting to watch the sequel. I’m just not sure how soon I’ll do that.
