the premise of the movie have be explain and if you have get this far you do not me to pretend that i be a movie critic . with that be say my own opinion of the movie be quite low . i be a fan of takashi miike but this go down in the category of his not so great work along with doa 2 and 3 and and some others ( many ) . the movie seem to get a free pas because it be a takashi film and nothing takashi do can be wrong . this be a highschoolers approach to cinema . for the rest of u we will find and hour and a half of a kid scream for no real reason completely annoy ( and yes and this do take away from the film ) and the pace of the film almost reach level of rigomortis and and the acting . well . hmmm . if one be a takashi fan you will see it regardless to peak your interest . it lack any originality ( see the neverending story ) or any character development from the lead character in the face of conflict other then a quite superficial one . a it have be point out this be the first film miike have be credit with co writing and but that doesn not mean much a non of what we would hope would be miike personality would spill over into the screen . all we get be some of the token miike shot vis the director of photography . the movie have the potential to be something great . the premise be not a difficult one to run wild with . but this one seem to have be run into the ground . my suggestion be if youre just get into miike be go with some of the standard like gozu and ichi and and audition . then movie into his work like blue harp and fudoh and rainy dog and bird people of china .
