[Silverwinged]

Stringbeans sent me the trailers for this awhile ago... I was home alone in the DAY TIME and it scared the shit out of me okay. NO ONE is dragging me into a theater to see that.

[Discord]

man I can't wait to see it.

[~lazee_grrl~]

i have it...majority of the scary parts are shown in the trailer..its a really slow movie too so if u watch it..make sure ur awake and paying attention..

anyways..if u get scared at anything like me..it can be pretty damn freaky..

i can't wait to watch the remake of it with sarah michelle gellar!!

[Discord]

Looks like another typical japanese movie. Nothing i havn't really seen before. From the trailer it looks good but who knows.

[ty:rone]

too lazy to look at the trailer... but there is ju on 1 and ju on 2.
then the japanese remade the 2movies so there's 2 ju on 1's and ju on 2's.

i thought americans were gonna remake ju on... but i guess they just brought the film overseas....
meh.. for a movie like that... there should only be a 20second trailer.. anything more completely ruins the movie and it's jump factor kuz u just saw it all.

Like most Japanese films, this one is more hype then scare. I'm a huge fan of Extreme Asian Horror, and I've seen most of the big names. Ju-On was actually a made for tv movie, which was scary as fuck. You literally have trouble making it through the whole thing. Then there came a second and third tv movie, so the director got the green light to make a movie from the series. The movie is dumbed down a bit though, and not the best import.

Some titles you guys can rent or download: "Suicide Club" is probably the most disturbing, because it's a harsh critique of popular culture. "The Eye" is new, but a satisfying ghost story similar to 6th Sense. "Dark Water" does to water what Ringu did to television sets, you have trouble walking by it. "Battle Royale" is the most classic one , about school children given weapons on an island and told to kill each other for points. "The Audition" will give most of you a run for your money, you'll have difficulty not having nightmares for months after seeing it. Probably the most scary one I've seen.

If nothing else, rent "Ringu" or any of the Ring series "Raesen" "Ringu 2" "Ringu: The Virus" . They're all good cheap fun.

It's been in Japan for a year now, so if you have a good downloading program you can download the DVD quality version of it.

Most asian movies you can get , almost a year before the american release. "Hero" with JetLi , I already have the DVD english version. Same with most foreign horror, I had 28 Days Later on my computer, DVD quality, before they even started previewing it in North America.

the movie seems like a total caucasian's worst nightmare going into japan.

Suicide club is the hardest horror flick I've ever had to understand, but after sitting through it a number of times I figured most of it out. The thing they're always asking is "do you love yourself" , or do you have respect and love for your own identity. Basically the children of todays culture, through the constant barrage of pop culture , have detached their love for themselves, and as such see no harm in suiciding. There's no consequence because there's no respect for their own being. However the kids who run the suicide club are constantly looking for a re-assosciation between the unity of the self . It's almost a test, joining the club, looking for answers within yourself, and many kids just killing themselves as a dark result. The skin samples bind them together in this quest, as an endless chain . However it's not a bondage of suicide, it's the opposite. Only the girl at the end is capable of breaking the cycle, and claims to love herself. You notice she also doesn't kill herself.

Most of the movie is mystery, nothing is fully explained. The chickens, the dark room, the undertaker taking strips of skin, is all very very mysterious. But the greater point of how popular culture, is teaching children to love material possesions over their own selves, is very pervasive in the film.

Ju On was such a disappointing let down. It's slow, predictable, and I found it somewhat boring. I love horror movies, but it was just too typical.

Where did you guys pick up Suicide Club though? I haven't been able to find it in stores.

[cheebus420]

^ Videomatica , in Vancouver. I first saw it in the Vancouver Film Festival.

And I dissagree, Ju-On was great. The TV movie is better though.

[ty:rone]

roger's video carries it on vhs - suicide club.
sucha odd movie...

[ty:rone]

cheebus.. ya love yourself... the identity thing got me going for a while and we were falling asleep near the end.. the skin thing was disturbing. that was just a deep movie haha thanks for the interpretation. i can like.. somewhat explain it to my friends now. quite a symbolic movie i thought... that kiddie band...
