Movie Reviews of Suicide Club (Suicide Circle)
Movie Review: Are you connected to yourself?
Summary: 5 Stars
Right off the bat I'm going to say that SUICIDE CLUB was a revolutionary experience for me. During my viewing I found many moments to be exquisitely beautiful, deeply disturbing and emotionally draining. Some people might not see it this way (after all, different strokes for different folks) but for me, SUICIDE CLUB is nothing short of genius.
Sure the movie has massive amounts of gore, strange and seemingly bizarre sequences that make no sense, not to mention an ending that leaves the viewer wonder what just happened. It's the type of movie that aims for just that and doesn't apologize after frustrating the viewer when the credits roll.
SUICIDE CLUB isn't so much of an actual movie but more so a social statement. It takes the idea of Pop Culture and twists it into a gnarled and warped picture of nightmares. This is clearly subject matter that no American director would touch with a ten foot pole, yet that's what also makes it so amazing to me. After watching this movie, I felt like something "clicked" in my head. Some kind of horrible understanding came to me that the world we live in (the happy, "poppy" world) is just a dark monster, waiting in the shadows to pull the wool over our eye's. Nothing is as it seems in SUICIDE CLUB. Just when you thought that you have it figured out, you don't.
I could tell you what this movie is about but that would be ruining the experience for you as the viewer. Simply put, the title of the movie says it all (SUICIDE CLUB or SUICIDE CIRCLE) but that would also be under minding the thoughtful and artistic nature of the movie as a whole.
Gore hounds, check it out. Horror fans, check it out. Everybody else, check it out. Even if you don't like this kind of stuff (weak stomach, moral obligations, whatever) still, check it out. SUICIDE CLUB is that good.
Just watch it.
Summary of Suicide Club (Suicide Circle)
A wave of unexplainable suicides sweeps across Tokyo after 54 smiling high school girls join hands and throw themselves from a subway platform into an oncoming train. Are the jumpers part of a cult? What is the connection to the website that chronicles suicides...before they happen? And, what is the connection to the Japanese all-girl pop group "Desert?" Suicide Club is a stylish, bizarre thriller that examines pop culture and disaffected youth.Art House & International DVD Video
