Side note: Suicide Club has a sequel. It’s called “Noriko’s Dinner Table” and is indispensable for understanding this movie and the story’s complexity. Suicide Club is being described as a horror movie and while it does contain elements which justify the classification, it shocks with an irrational absurdness rather than by depicting nightmarish events.(Gore is present but not the central attraction.) If I were asked to describe Suicide Club in three words it would be the following: creepy, chaotic and surreal. The actors’ performances are convincing, but as locations are changed rapidly and attention is paid to multiple characters while none is detailedly introduced, a sole character’s portrayal is of no importance. The music is generally appropriate, but surprisingly, positively contradictious at times. Suicide Club also contains two full-length songs, one of them as bizarre as possible. Why should you be watching this? Although Suicide Club was promoted as a movie on its own, it leads to more questions than answers. It’s part of a jigsaw and can be seen as the threshold to a ridiculously witty story which unravels in “Noriko’s Dinner Table”. I highly recommend watching both movies, while Suicide Circle serves its purpose as a foundation, it does not fail to entertain.
