Well, let's begin with the fact that I love horror, especially when it's about legends or games, like in this case. So I obviously loved the idea of the movie and in the beginning was really enjoyable with all those orders and choices that the characters had to endure. The first tier of the movie was really good and I really wanted to know how it would continue and how it would answer to all the questions I had in mind. After that it's a free fall. The whole development was getting more and more ridiculous and some things didn't even make sense (a character acting as if he was injured even though he wasn't, the WHOLE school was available at for the characters, at night, so that they could do whatever they wanted, the teacher appeared just a few times, as if she wasn't necessary in a classroom, etc.) and some questions weren't even answered. The ending was kinda good though.

The acting wasn't bad. It was horrible. You couldn't even think that they were actually acting seriously except for a few scenes. And the characters were all empty. The character development was almost inexistent.

The music was pretty good, I would say, except for that happy ending song that didn't even seem to belong to the kind of sad ending the movie had. I was just asking myself "Why?" while hearing it.

Overall, it's a movie that had an awesome idea and started off pretty well, despite the horrible acting, but when the things started to be "creepy" it just fucked up and couldn't go on.

Oh, and IT IS NOT A HORROR MOVIE. It just could feel like one from the summary but isn't one at all.

I totally enjoyed it. This movie is done SOo0~ well, the story was published as a novel in Japan before and now they made a movie.

Because it´s kinda scary, I wanted to watch it with my friends, but actually, don´t be afraid, it´s not really scary so I could have watched it by myself too. But I think..watching with friends is still better, cause they will enjoy it with you :3

And now I have been thinking about this even days after watching. It is awesome! I love the music and cast and everything. Please watch!!

I love the concept, the whole story, I was intense and curious who is the KING~ Even I, I won't know what to do. I can't think of a solution for them. I mean, it's like there's no escape. If ever they found out who the King is and kill the King, will that end the curse??? I think it wouldn't. I don't though..

It was really hard situation. When the sexual thing was ordered, I got crazy, I mean it's really hard. But I might decide the same too :))
But I found out that the next orders was harder than before.

And I was irritated about when they thought of escaping the game. That was stupid~! haha, but who knows, maybe even I will be tempted to do it and forget about the rule.

And about the ending, okay, I guess the wrong person of whoever the King is. and the King was unfair to execute someone just because the person can guess who the King is. That was so unfair~ xD

anyway, I really love it. About the acting, well it's good enough and I don't like Chiemi, her movements is like acting weak and its like she's seducing the guy XD

Anyway, I really like tricky movies like this :)

I love horror movies and shows. I'm also one of those that DO judge a book/movie/show by the cover (sadly. lol) Though this movie's cover was fairly plain, it still had such a ominous feel to it that I knew I needed to watch it as quickly as possible.

Everything about this movie seemed extremely promising. I loved how it started off and even though I hate when movies "character dump", I didn't mind it this time -- eve though there were a lot of characters, they managed to still make a impact that made you remember who they were.

Even with such a limited setting it still managed to have a great storyline and creepy vibe. Though sadly about half way through it seemed to lose that "umph!" for me. It was still enough to keep me curious, and even though so much was happening, I just kinda wanted to zone out. I'm not sure why. But I felt like it needed a bit more.

I loved all of the actors acting and I really thought I had the "king" pegged from the story but I actually wasn't expecting that outcome. Am I happy with the ending? Not a bit. If anything, I'm confused. I wish they told us why. Why this person. Why is this happening to them. Just so many questions I still have. Lol

I still enjoyed the movie though.
