 "IS THIS DVD RATED OR NR????????/"I just bought this DVD, because I like j-horror movies and good reviews here ...but when I reviver it, says it rated "R " Not "NR " and in Amazon or anywhere else don't have another format. of this DVD beside this one! And their website discretion says is "R rated" but here says it NR...Please if someone have this DVD tells me what u have in ur hand because I am confuse. I don't know is Amazon error or is there another DVD format with NR rated somewhere cant find!! Thanks. "Japanese Gross-Out Delivers"I won't waste my or your precious time trying to understand or explain the plot. Others who've seen this and reviewed it have doubtlessly done that already. The briefest set up I can give is as follows: A harried night in a hospital where both staff and patients are having a hell of a time staying sane and/or in one piece. Sounds fun. And it is, except for the fact that half the time it seems impossible to tell it is actually supposed to be happening. But the inherent horrors of a hospital (sharp objects, organ-liquefying diseases, overlong work hours) are all present and accounted for here, and they are combined with an impending dread that builds up nicely to what I found to be an incomprehensible ending. I guess I'll just have to watch it again, and hopefully I'll enjoy it as much the second or third time around. This was a nice little surprise of a movie from our Eastern, Godzilla-plagued friends, and God love 'em for serving up the gory glory.  "What's up with those swings? Ghosts?"A confusing, muddled horror film about a terrifying night in a Japanese hospital. There's malpractice and a conspiracy to cover it up. There's some kind of disease that seems to be spread psychically and affects the perceptions of anyone who catches it, so that they don't know whether they are hallucinating or not. The problem is that the viewer doesn't know either. There were a couple of points where I thought I had a workable explanation for what was happening, but then something would happen to contradict it, especially at the end. I'm forced to conclude that director Masayuki Ochiai just decided to throw everything in and, if he had any idea of what was going on, he was incapable of conveying it to me./ "Full Support"J-Horror has my FULL support, but I just didn't like this movie. The problem was telling what they wanted you to know as reality from what they wanted you to know as false reality that the green oozing disease caused. Was that evil dr. always a ghost? Did he die earlier at the hands of the younger assistant? The head nurse never really died? I was just left needing answers and feeling very very confused. I do however support this and I am interested to see what all the films in the series will be. I suggest you go out and see RINGU (the Japanese original puts the American version to shame), Ringu Birthday so you can understand Sadako- (very sad film), Kairo -american remake ahead w/ kristen bell- see orig. first, Ring Virus - the (Korean) version of Ringu (yes, better than the american version also), Dark Water.. Also see ONE MISSED CALL -you will have to import it and there is a #2 soon to be subbed. For a great non Japanese movie, try "Phone"(korean) and the eye(hong kong) - they follow spooky tradition of terror.  "If This Movie Was Dolby in English Version It Probably Would Have Been Interesting to Watch."The vendor by the name of paradise video sold me this DVD in widescreen, which takes away from the movie itself, from top of the screen and bottom. it is impossible to watch any movie,that is not dolby in English version. I was told it was in English not,I contact this vendor several times. No responds. I call that poor customer service. This message is to all customers that shop with this vendor, don't do any transaction with this vendor, because they do not respond in a timely fashion. |
