Eliot K. Dubs are terrible and it has none of the good themes of the original book and does it a massive injustice. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Pinoy Short R Sakto lang. Bago ang Squid game, ito ang pioneer sa ganun genre. Medyo nakulangan pa ko sa gore pero saktong sakto lang sa pamatay oras Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Justin T This film wasn’t as gory as I would have expected for the story. The day-for-night stuff looked a bit strange but I guess that it worked. I liked the cinematography as it was relatively minimalistic. Some of the music came in a bit awkwardly but overall it was pretty good sound. It was all pretty convincing. The story was a little confusing in places but the pace never died. I’m not a big fan of flashbacks but it kept the film moving. You were never far from some murder death kill. I thought that too many people loved each other but I guess that is true of school kids anyway so that gripe can be ignored. It’s a pretty good film with some teenage drama that I didn’t understand but the violence helped that gripe. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Darren D Adults, get out there & make sure you vote in favour of the Millennium Educational Reform Act. Send them kids packing to Takeshi's Castle. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review John W Good film that is suspenseful and well directed. The idea is awesome and was probably even better at this time, when there weren’t so many similar movies. There is tension and you never know what’s going to happen. The kills are shown in a gory way. The only downside is that there are so many characters which means they don’t have a lot of depth. But that didn’t bother me because they all seem realistic and the story is good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Matty D Battle Royale is the prime example of an absolute perfect action horror film. Filmed in the year 2000 and based on the 1996 novel of the same name, Battle Royale came out long before series like The Hunger Games, The Purge, and other “royale”-type of movie. Setting itself up with the difficult task of maintaining a cast that includes nearly four dozen characters, Battle Royale has well-rounded teens who you root for their survival. It maintains a sense of drama and suspense throughout its sprawling two hours runtime, without missing any attention to detail for a single one of the students’ deaths. The cast is spectacular across the board in their committed performances, with some having earned recognition by the Japanese Oscars for their work. Although the film differs from the also sprawling novel, it does a fine job of adapting the material without too many omissions to fit a time limit for most attention spans. While I feel young people would benefit from seeing this film, I do recommend caution for younger viewers as this is any incredibly violent and brutal movie. Overall, if you are a fan of foreign horror or action films, be sure not to miss the legendary gem! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
