Isola: Tajuu jinkaku shôjo (2000)
ending didn't suck :3
Isola was a very good movie, i was impressed with the way it was done. i am a fan of any psychological disorder portrayed in movies, and thankful that M.P.D was not blown out of proportion as it is in most films. the 'out-of-body' part was interesting and i thought it was well integrated into the film, though when the guy first says the doctor was found naked and coverd in white sticky stuff.. you tend to get another idea. i'm was also impressed with the ending, it made sense. from watching Hollywood films the majority of my life i'm far to used to the stupid endings, but this one made sense and for once in the life of any movie didn't leave open for a sequel (which far to many movies do..*coughcoughHIDEANDSEEKcoughcough*) i suggest that people check this movie out, i bought it for 24.99 Canadian which is fairly inexpensive, and well worth every penny
Tomie (1998)
Tomie, never dies
anyone who is familiar with the writings of Junji Ito would know the basic story of Tomie, and what to expect from this movie. i bought the DVD of it a few weeks ago, and have watched it a couple times. you will be able to recognize bits from the stories in the manga's, it's a fairly good movie, unless you don't enjoy reading subtitles. the DVD i bought was Japanese only with sub-titles, which i don't mind because i am used to reading it. though.. after watching the trailers, i am more looking forward to buying the 2nd and 3rd movies due to what i have seen of them. anyways, i didn't get a fright out of the movie, but it is good.. and it's not trying to jump on any band wagons.. Japanese horror will always be great for me at least
Session 9 (2001)
Just Plain Weird.
i watched this movie last night as part of a horror movie week on television, mostly i was entertained by the fact it had actors in it i recognized (From CSI: Miami, and CSI: Las Vegas). as i got more into them movie, things just started happening which i can guess were supposed to be eerie, but they pretty much just made me thing 'what the hell?' i can't say it was a disappointing movie, or i wouldn't have watched the whole thing. It was just plain weird, but in some cases that's okay, it worked well in that movie. so rent it if you wanna see something odd, and just a little messed up. it made me laugh but there are some parts with not immense amounts of blood, but a fair share, there could have been many ways of making this movie scary, and many ways it could have been utter crap. personally i liked it
