i have just seen this movie and it was hilarious! i was kinda scared to watch it as i have read so much about it in advance, but this thing is not scary or disturbing AT ALL. there are a lot of drastic and disgusting IDEAS that this movie is based on and if someone would read the actual script or a short novel based on this script it would be disturbing as hell.
the thing that turns this film from a Japanese shock movie is the lack of budget combined with really terrible sound and special FX. i don't know what intention the director had with this movie, but it is for sure not scary or shocking. there is no second while watching that you forget that this is all "just a movie". none of the fx are believable and the over-the-top sound FX turn this into pure dark humor. intentionally or not.
the basic idea of the story when put into the right hands with the right budget and writers would make one hell of a scary movie. give this thing to the crew of "saw 1" and you would fear for your life while watching this at your local cinema.
as much as the final result made me laugh at some points, apart from the brilliant basic ideas, there are some events happening that you just won't believe happening. as ridiculous as those were and as much as i chuckled about them they were surprising as hell and there would not have been any chance in the world that anybody could have predicted them.
there are some things that are so ridiculous that you can only describe them as surreal. i have seen directors try to get away with really really unbelievable stuff, but this tops it all. this is so ridiculous that it becomes brilliant.
confused? watch it. i can't describe it any better. i don't think anybody can.
