Eisuke Naito

An interesting horror film that embraces supernatural elements while combining them with societal horror. Himena Irei's part is crucial, as she blends both worlds while making sure the film doesn't cross over into the realm of the fantastical. It's a weird and fickle balance, but director Naito pulls it off.

There are moments of brilliance here, but Naito can't keep it up for the entire length. The school drama is pretty strong, the revenge theme is harsh and satisfying, but the two don't always go well together. Naito is getting better with every film though, if he can make his films just a little more refined the future looks rosy.

Bonkers manga adaptation. The story is quite impossible to recap, but there's plenty of fun to be had if you don't take it too seriously. The horror gets quite graphic, sadly the drama becomes a little too heavy-handed near the end. Only in Japan.

A decent but slightly underwhelming horror anthology. Six respected directors tackle 10 horror stories, but with a setup like this there simply isn't enough variation in style and themes. There are no real weak entries, on the other hand far too few shorts that make an effort to stand out. Solid filler, but nothing more.

No doubt an intriguing title for a film, but keep your expectations low, as director Naitô seems a little too confident that the premise alone is strong enough to carry this entire film. The film itself is a pretty tepid and rushed low-budget thriller that isn't half as shocking as its title may suggest.
