Even though I did not watch this movie in its entirety, I agree that it is very good. Just when you think you have a handle on what is going on, BAM! You are wrong. It is as if there are three stories in one but they are relate to one another. The graphic violence and gore is a lot to take in if you are not accustomed to or enjoy watching such things, but if you are, you should enjoy it and appreciate it as well as the message hidden within. I have been told that the last thirty minutes are akin to the last few minutes of Audition, violence wise, and as I settled in to complete the movie, I felt so creepy and dirty inside that I had to turn it off. It just felt so wrong to be watching these things happen to this girl that I felt unsettled inside. The movie was st up in such a way that it made me feel like something bad might happen to ME if I watched her suffering and didn’t help. So I shut it off. That being said, the movie was awesome at scaring the crap out of me all while teaching me a valuable lesson in humanity and compassion.
