Just saw the movie at the Brussels Fantasy Film Festival and was quite stunned by it.
Although some questions remain unanswered, the story depicts some of the most problematic issues of the Japanese society.
The suicide phenomenon among young people is related to the unlimited attraction for new trends and the lack of communication between young people and there parents.
A well directed, enjoyable (gory ) movie, with convincing actors.
I give it a 8 out of 10.
