Well...I put this movie in the VCR without any expectations and it gave me a world of entertainment. This is how you do horror cinema in the 2000's. Sion Sono dosen't limit himself to the horror part. Having a bit of a weak storyline, he mixes it with a truckload of metaphors and interesting cinematography.
Subtle allusions to Dessart (AHEM...spoiler here) and filming with different camera angles and different filming techniques to entertain the viewer. The bowling alley scenes are very stylish too, reminiscent of Audition(which with American Beauty should be in the referenced movies in my opinion.) Sion Sono quotes the greatest cinematographers, but yet imposes his own style and a very strong photography who's a bit reminiscent of Shunya Tsukamoto's Tokyo Fist.
Quote more to get more original...that's what should be contemporary cinema motto..and I love it
