اچھی فلم!

the comments are full of bad reviews, but I enjoyed and liked it. now I feel like I’m a dumb person with no media literacy. 😭 but yeah, it’s not scary, which is 😬 since it’s a “horror” movie. and yes, there are many scenes showing how dumb the characters are, especially in the last part. like girl, just put the head in the coffin, you’rr acting like y’all aren't gonna wake up the next day and see each other again.

I've read some reviews here and most of them are complaining about the horror scene but for me yepp the villain is kinda weird from beginning to end. But can we talk about the friendship that has been created like it's so solid and despite of their differences they came along good circle of friends and they created best memories. I really love survival movies like when I'm watching I feel like I'm also part of the story and the feeling that I belong to their companionship. With this movie I felt that I'm belong with them and it makes me feel good that we all survive yey HAHAHA I'm hoping for the part 2 might be no more part 2 but why not? HAHAHA.

Okay, maybe I'm looking too much into this but I feel is about maturity; teens slowly transitioning into young adults. I think this specific group of students were chosen because of all their peers, they are like the ones who saw through their basic high school existence. I'm not a fan of horror movies with no meaning so, I'm not gonna lie, at first I was interested then I slowly got disinterested after that first kill, when that teenaged boy's body got severed and his legs just had the audacity to be crossed, MIDAIR! Anyway, I just, it looked to me like the "Red Person" was that thing we call peer pressure. Them being killed and being reborn represents them standing up to it and getting better while being eaten by it is like the all too common ''eaten by the system'' expression. Especially after that moment when the teacher talked about his own friends in high school. I went into this expecting a horror movie that's something along the likes of Gannibal but was more All of Us are Dead minus an antagonist in the group. To some extent it exceeded my expectations. I feel like this may be one of those Asian horror movies that gives you a different perspective every time you watch it.

There were several moments where I was like REALLY. But the ending really was ridiculous SPOILER So once they find the head, instead of her running immediately to place it where it should go, she is dragging it out even AFTER her love interest was killed. COME ON There were other scenes that were equally dumb. I do understand horror movies are known to have these absolutely dumb moments to advance or extend the plot but people come on.... I noticed several people mentioned they should have been traumatized by what happened at night but to them it was a very realistic video game. They were upset until one of their friends disappeared in real time. So I don't agree that it was a plot hole or unrealistic; that ws one of the more true moments.

No pun intended - this is not just a movie that has some shockers in it. It will not just give you some jump scares ... it does get violent and quite vividly so. We may have a loop here - but don't expect this to bore you or repeat things. It does get nasty and down and dirty, but it always changes things up. Apart from the location that is. But it doesn't have to do that - we know where we are and the characters "know" what they have to do too. The movie gives us a weird villain and the CGI is ok - but I imagine for some it isn't good enough. It also does not take prisoners - so if you are used to American movies where certain age groups are off limits ... well you will shocked ... a lot here (no pun intended). Also stick around, because there is an extra bit after the credits are over ... for better or worse .. I am not sure what I think of that ... but it is there ... so there is that.

There is nothing here, just a group of school teenagers traped in a temporal looping repeating the same day and get killed at night by a creature who came from nowhere to chase them while they search for parts of a body hidden at school biulding. Does this make sense? No, it doesn't. All of them are really uninsteresting and you don't care if someone is bleeding or cut in pieces. Maybe there is a message about loniness while at school classes. The group once were stranges, after some nights they became friends. Oh, so sweet! Final is a very bad happy end and you will be sleeping or just forgetting this movie.

The initial minutes of the film make it seem like an intense horror/slasher film. The way the story progresses with very gruesome and brutal imagery, one assumes that this is going to be a treat for people who enjoy strictly horror films. However, that isn't the case at all. When the main characters (which comprise generic and archetypal characters) discover that they are in a time loop, things change drastically. The film shifts tone suddenly and abruptly. It transitions to a more lighthearted puzzle-solving film with alternating intense chase sequences. This is good and bad. It's good because it makes way for the film to be more unique and gives the characters better depth. Bad because it seemed like it would have been a really good serious horror film. The film doesn't take itself too seriously after a point and has numerous montages of them having fun with each other (because they technically have infinite lives until they put the body together) and also getting killed very creatively. The film becomes more about the characters, with all the characters getting fleshed out and friendship taking center stage as the main theme of the film. I don't want to hold it against the film because it doesn't detract from the experience, but if it had gone full horror, it could have turned out pretty well as well. There are a few twists and turns, though, as the film progresses. Talking about the monster, "The Red Person," has a mix of practical and CGI effects for its body. The practical effects look better than the CGI in this film, which makes one wonder why they're used so little these days. The performances in the film are substantial, with all the actors doing their parts. There are a lot of tropes in the film that are very prevalent in Japanese media, but nothing that really impedes the quality of the film. The film begins strongly, dips a little in the middle, but quickly picks up again towards the third act. It is a short, fun, and entertaining film with nothing that will blow you away. It is simply satisfactory and enjoyable.

I have no clue why this movie got so many bad reviews and got rated 5/10. I would give it at least a 7 or an 8! For an enjoyer of obscure Japanese movies this is a great film especially if you enjoy horror/death games, and romance was done nicely as well. It was very creepy too! I recommend! I know that because it is Netflix they probably will not make a part 2 but I would definitely like to see a continuation. I loved that at times it didnt take itself too seriously, and the CGI was ok too. The little girl was mad creepy. And we had a beach episode too inside of it, what more could we want! Lmao. Watch it.
