Kotsutsubo (2012)
Decent J-horror
Going through a list of Japanese horror films that I am watching I have come across several of which I've already seen but didn't realize. This is one of those films. First off we have a cast of cute high school girls especially Ai Shinozaki who played Kaho. She is a Japanese gravure idol who is extremely cute and has other good qualities if you know what I mean. So aside from the cast of cute girls we have a decent horror movie about a curse that kills people. The main character Eri (Natsumi Matsubara) starts this curse by putting cursed ashes in a teachers drink. What happens when people have these ashes is of course they are killed but the right arm is severed and missing. There are some creepy moments in this movie and it's a pretty decent film.
Bairokêshon (2013)
Decent Film
Before watching the film I assumed it would be scary with jump scenes and scary ghosts but it wasn't that. It was a very interesting story that really was a good idea for a film. Bilocation is when there are 2 of the same person in different places at the same time. One is the original human and the other is the fake one. They are developed through certain periods in someones life such as when someone has extreme anger or hatred towards something. This is a good psychological/horror film and something to watch if your into that type of film category.
Jigoku kozô (2004)
Bad Movie
Boy From Hell is a live action adaptation of the manga of the same name. Daio (the boy) dies from a car accident and his mother brings him back to life. When he rises from the grave he is a deformed child from hell and wrecks havoc in the neighborhood. This film is extremely low budget with bad acting and obvious fake scenery and gore. The idea is good and the manga was probably good as I have not read it but I'm probably thinking the manga was 100% better. This isn't a film necessary for a J-horror fan to watch as it pretty much sucked with all the terrible fake gore and everything.
Kamisama no iu tôri (2014)
Good Movie
Here is another good film by one of my favorite Japanese directors Takashi Miike. This film is based off a manga of the same name and shows the first arc of the manga. From the very beginning of the film it's really interesting and catches your attention unlike other films where the attention has to be caught sometime inwards. The basic premise of the film is students having to play games to survive and if you lost at these games you die gruesome deaths. There is a lot of blood and death and the characters in this film are a mix of actual people and CGI characters. I liked the CGI of the fictional characters in this film because it seemed to fit so well with everything. It's not like that completely horrible animation where it sucks.
The Bunny Game (2011)
Completely and Utterly Terrible
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen and without a doubt ever made. The main purpose of this film is for the shock value and to disturb and make the viewer uncomfortable. This movie was so so so boring and dumb. Do NOT waste your time with this trash and find something else to watch.
