    I'm ashamed to admit that only recently discovered who Sion Sono is, and I made sure to watch his most renowned film - that of Suicide Club.

    The movie is absolutely great, and even though stretched far and away, it manages to portray perfectly the generation of today; th...( read more)e Facebook, Twitter, YouTube generation, whose oxygen is the internet. It speaks perfectly of the loss of self-identity in the masses and the gullibility and brain-washing that comes out of being a technology addict.

    Everything about is prodigious and sublimely disturbing. For me the first scene is already a cult classic.

    This is only the second asian horror flick i've seen (the first being ringu) and it was at the opposite end of the spectrum from that movie. In the end I kinda liked it, but I didn't like it that much when I was actually watching it, too gross.

    This is one of the funniest albeit confounding movies I have seen in a long long time. This is a happy film with a happy ending. A connection is finally made between young and old, the pop group's work is done and the most suicidal of the teenagers, the one whose boyfriend surpri...( read more)ses her by landing on her when he jumps off a building in a suicide attempt, but doesn't die until he's had time to discuss the irony of the event with her, (tell me that isn't pure comic genius).

    had i not conducted research on suicide, i would not have found this film. and had i not studied the subject with such scrutiny, it would not have scared me as much as it did. seems illogical, but everything i saw in the film is nothing but illustrations to the true nature of t...( read more)he material i researched. blood-chilling for me.

    This movie kept me guessing, in fact, I'm still guessing! I guess I couldn't make whatever connections this movie was trying to portray. I just know that it was really freaky to see all of these suicides happening while a group of pre-teen little girls are singing and dancing on ...( read more)stage about life and happiness. As much as I couldn't understand this movie I did kind of like it. Every time the movie slows down something will happen to wake you up again. I think this movie is something you have to see for yourself. It's not easily describable or comparable to anything else. Suicide is trendy. Didn't you know?

    Blech, terrible! Indecipherable, boring, and weird (and not in a good way).
