Reviews
Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Sammy_Can 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
psyence-1 I believe this was a very well made movie. It had famous Japanese actors. Very well written and acted out I wanted to correct a few things on the first review.There was NOT any teen nudity. Those were adult actors and the nudity wasn't enough of anything to even be upset about. Especially to Japanese viewers. That's not considered anything bad.I don't see where you thought everything looked dark either. Because when I watched it, it was very crisp and clear.I think this movie was a very good explanation of spiritual possession. Many of the statements were very realistic. People that are interested in supernatural and out of body experiences would be interested in this type of movie.Very good movie.
movie_droid The premise of this movie was good. A girl suffering from multiple personality disorder with a hidden personality threatening to destroy it all, along the way came a psychic who wanted to help, but the psychic herself needed help.Unfortunately, in the middle of the movie, it changed direction and drifted into spirits. So, the audience was left with an empty shell of an enticing plotline. It became your standard ghost story.The movie also failed to delve enough into the girl or the psychic. The audience was left wondering - who exactly was the psychic? What was her background? How came she did not remember her name? Each scene just raised new questions, instead of answering previous questions.As a whole, the movie just did not work for me.
Pro Jury It is the final lost episode of NIGHT GALLERY and Rod Serling made it in Japan -- OK, not really.Made in Japan, ISOLA has two attractive actresses and some (unnecessary) teen nudity, but sadly nothing can bring this movie exploring death to life.Dark... in more ways than one. Most of ISOLA is shot at night using the hand-held shaky camera technic. In other words, it is difficult to see what is happening! Even the daytime shots are grey and murky.ISOLA is slow and boring (just as I found THE 6TH SENSE and DONNIE DARKO to be). The subtitles are just OK... "There is know way to find her..." etc.Interestingly, ISOLA has a scene where an elderly Japanese man shares shame for surrendering and not being killed with his men during WWII. The exact same thing occurs in 1998's WANDAFURU RAIFU (AFTERLIFE) also made in Japan http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0165078/ . It seems modern Japanese movie makers still feel angst about being defeated nearly 60 years ago.
