  • X Marks The Spot...

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Kenta Fukasaku (Yo-Yo Girl Cop, Battle Royale 2) follows in his famous fathers footsteps in this gloriously over the top Japanese horror-fest. Multiple points of view and time frames are the order of the day here as two girls take a journey they will never forget. The opening chapter sets the scene, all crazy villagers and creepy scarecrows. The second chapter cranks up the fear factor with the introduction of Reika, a crazed cross between Little Bo Peep and Freddy Krueger.

    From here on in we are treated to brutal warfare with giant scissors and chainsaws, lunatic villagers and human sacrifice. Not to mention a few broken hearts and severed limbs.

    It's what Japanese cinema is all about and Kenta Fukasaku has done is father proud.

    A rare example of very very bad asian horror, OTT Jap comic horror flick for the facebook generation with bad script and irritatingly too long for what it has to offer

    Rated - 2.5 stars

    Very silly horror romp, told via the medium of flashback and cell phones, also manages comedy, mystery, giant scissors and the ability to walk after having ones ankle mangled by a chainsaw. Not Stephen Hawkings' favorite film!
