Matthew D From the land of the rising sun comes this twisted and twisty tale of depravity, sadism, mental illness and horrifying retribution. There's something for everyone! And if you can predict the ending, I'll eat my pajamas! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/20 Full Review Audience Member Bizarre, disturbing Japanese psycho-sexual thriller. It delights in adding and exploring twists throughout. Good stuff - but not for everyone due to the subject matter Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member An amazing mindfuck of a movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Best horror/thriller movie I have seen in a very long time. Touches on many uncomfortable subjects such as sexual abuse, pedophilia, physical abuse, and the effect it can have on the mind. This is a tale of horrific abuse and taking revenge afterwards, with twists and turns as you go through the film. It makes you feel emotions that are uncomfortable and makes you think about your perception of what is real and what is not. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member this is why i love foreign horror films. Japan and Korea just kick the crap out of every other country -- their plots are so insanely smart and there's so many twists and turns you can't possibly guess the endings. i can maybe think of 1 or 2 American or Spanish films that i could also stick in this category, but even so, they're just not the same. nobody else writes plots like this. it's weird, disturbing and not for the faint of heart, but if you're looking for a mind blowing story, i recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review lovro h You really can't possibly guess what you're getting yourself into when you want to watch a Sion Sono movie. This guy makes some really disturbing movies! This movie is about a writer, Taeko, who is writing a story about a 12 year-old girl who has had a really hard life. There's incest, rape, murder, plot twists and, of course, twisted imagery that will make you question if what you're watching is a dream or what is actually happening. As Taeko finishes writing her novel, she gets a new assistant of some sorts that is with her as she is getting ready to publish the book. There is one very unpredictable and just shocking plot twist at the end which I will not spoil. It reminded me of Shutter Island and The Sixth Sense, though. That's all I say about that twist! The acting is amazing! Everyone did a great job and all the characters are very compelling and intriguing. The soundtrack is beautiful. It really fits with the tone of the film. All in all, a really twisted and disturbing movie about very controversial subjects that will deffinetely shock you, but it's worth seeing for the unusual story and very intriguing characters. I would deffinetely recommend seeing this movie! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
