tagline: Are you connected with yourself?

It's one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. Scarier than... uhhmm... well you can't really compare it with the Ring series, since we're not dealing with supernatural forces here. I love the Ring, but it's a Damien Omen kind of scary. Well, the only similarity between this movie and the Ring is that they're all considered as a new generation of Japanese horror movies.

Before you watch the movie, I should tell you that the director, Shion Ono, is a highly spirited and commited to his full time job, directing gay porn videos. So please be understanding with his unfamiliar film style (except, of course, if you're already familiar with the Japanese gay porn). The beginning scene is unbelievably shocking it would stick in my mind partly for its creepyness and partly for my own lesson on how you should begin a movie.

Some of you who are looking for bad guys might get frustated in understanding the storyline. My advice, restate your question, don't think too much, and the answers will come to you as they are laying there on the dialogues and scenes, as well as on the lyrics of the girlband. Just relax and enjoy the film, and when you get the answer (or don't get it), try hard not to be tempted to commit suicide. When you are tempted, keep in mind that the 'gay porn filmmaker guy' was just trying to make a social commentary on the contemporary Japanese society. Well, I don't know that for sure actually, but just think it that way anyway so you'll be alive until the next time we can hang out together, hahaha...

best moment: scene with a young mother with a sharp knife.
