As the gods will,
I've been wanting to watch this for years, and forgot all about it until a lad at work said he had it so lent it to me,
Let's be honest when it comes to being creative, different, bonkers, and using your imagination then you can't beat the Japanese for that,
That alone is enough to make you realise you're going to get something different, Tokyo gore police is a prime eg of that,
And then the fact it's directed by Takashi Miike,
The film was bonkers and off the wall but in a fantastic way,
I know the squid game came out years after the film but it's like a cross between a squid game and an escape room, they've to play games of survival based on Japanese culture like a Belling Cat and a Daruma doll,
A lad who wishes his life was different is suddenly in the middle of a survival game with a Daruma doll,
While the film is bizarre, bonkers and highly entertaining there are quite a few flaws with it,
There's no real storyline, after wishing his life was different its then just smack bang in the middle of a survival game, and as soon as its finished just directly into next game, and so on, no in between, storyline, character building etc,
And the ending was kinda eh, what?
Despite the flaws its fun and totally recommendi if you like squid game, Japanese films and something different.
I am a bit puzzled at first game tho when ppl are dying instead of actual blood its like marbles but red, I'm not sure what that's all about.
