Mitsuko, a young student, encounters a series of horrifying incident set in alternate realities where people wind up dead in the most horrendous fashion.

Reviews
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
funtasticfour I never would have seen this movie or known of it's existence without my kids. My daughter showed me a clip from the first 10 minutes, and I was hooked, because I had to know what was going on. From then on, it was silly and juvenile but every now and then very unexpected things would happen. I'm not sure if this is deemed a horror or sci-fi, but the Japanese film industry sure is different, and occasional worth diving into. I'm glad I watched it, but wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
Onur Gül First of all, the film has a moderate quality in today's standards. But it has a great satirical critique. And it's not a known production, because it's not much liked by the audience and it's not a huge budget. It's a movie made in Japan. We can see in this film the appearance of skirt under white pants which is the classic of Japanese films. The film contains very exaggerated and absurd scenes for being satirical. The vast majority of disliked audiences don't like the film because of absurd, exaggerated scenes. The film starts on the bus with a school trip. It's dividing an unspecified windy bus into two. The main girl, Mitsuko, is the only survivor. After when she goes to school, she realizes she does not know anyone in the school. This school is not her school and her friends are not her friends. Then there's another weird incident in school. The teachers of the school are starting to kill everybody in the school with a scanning rifle. Mitsuko runs away from school and takes refuge in a police station. And when the cop holds the mirror to the girl, we see again the identity of someone different. And here we can understand that Mitsuko is in a game, not real life. It's quite possible to compare it to The Matrix movie. And from here on in the movie Mitsuko continues to progress like an arcade mode game. As the film progresses, it gets different identities every time. It is also possible to see a lot of Hollywood shipments in the movie. By way of example, the Keiko character's wedding could be a fighting scene at the end of The Matrix's derivation. When we continue through this, Keiko escapes from there and continues in a running race. And in this jogging race, we see everybody in the film from start to finish. At the end of the run, like a cave, Izumu entered the world of men from here. Especially noteworthy is that there are no men in the film until this scene. Here Mitsuko sees the future and faints. When Mitsuko wakes up, she finds herself in a game. We see a very old man with long hair playing with them like a PlayStation. In this case, we see a feminist critique of the use of women in the fact that all of this is a game that men do. Mitsuko is actually a dead woman in 2034 and men have created a game with her genetics. Then we see the sculptures of dead women in the film. Mitsuko then realizes that the men will start the game again and kills herself at the beginning of the game in order to break the loop. When Mitsuko dies, all the playable characters die, and mitsuko gets a chance in the snow. End overall, the film uses Feminism correctly and makes a good criticism that men dominate the woman. Because feminism sees women and men equality in symbols and improper use of it in movie. The film can be a good production made to break the perception that men lead women. As I mentioned at the beginning, the film is not very good quality, but it contains a solid criticism.
Alfonso Rodriguez I'm not a fan of Japanese movies, so let's be clear on this from the beginning. I was recommended this film by a friend, and before renting it I watched a trailer on YouTube. The trailer, which happens to be the 3 minutes of the title, is really powerful, and if somehow, you can extrapolate the goodness of the movie from the trailer (you and me know that we can't), you'd thing that this is an OK movie, at least. But don't be fooled, the 3 minuets shown there are the only minutes worth while, perhaps some aerials that we see at the beginning can count, but nothing else. The plot is very meaningless, and I suspect that maybe to a Japanese audience could make more sense, but to some occidental mind it does not and is a meaningless teenage movie, at best. If you can skip this film, go ahead and do it, you won't loose nothing.
Otakore Literantadodist I discovered this film from a Humour site who posted a sample video of this film. It made me curious to watch this film because of the cute chick plus the gory scene in the trailer.The story is kind of deep. I think, It's trying to make its audience a mind blown effect. But it isn't. I'm unsatisfied with the dialogue trying to give a meaningful line. I think the novel version tells a lot than the movie version.Regarding the special effects, instead of scrutinizing the not so bad and not so good gory scenes, just okay, I just laugh it out. I don't know if there's something wrong with me, but I really find those scenes funny.After watching this film, It made me more curious and I want to read the original story of the novel this film was based.Thank you.
