Review

starts out as a solid horror flick, but apparently didn’t have anywhere to go. takes place in japan where high-schoolers are committing suicide by the dozens. it’s a cool idea, but the film ends without adequately explaining the rash of suicides. there’s certainly a subtext about japanese society and individualism vs. collectivism, and the film is good for that reason, but the ending was too nebulous for me.
