Japanese splatter with a surprisingly well-stacked cast. The film does get too caught up in its own narrative, which can get a bit geeky and too movie-centered. A tighter focus on horror and all-out weirdness would've made for a better film, but it's an amusing Japanese horror romp. Somewhat of a rarity these days, so it was a welcome diversion. The effects are decent, some famous faces add a bit of glamour to the cast and the horror bits do get quite grotesque. The film-centric focus feels a bit lazy though and the plot/characters get too much exposure, especially for a film that relies on weird body horror. Splatter fans won't be bored, but don't expect prime Sushi Typhoon-like material. Read all
