This film is a masterpiece that is without a doubt Kurosawa's crowning achievement, and that is really saying a lot considering all of the excellent films he's made. This is perhaps the deepest horror film I've ever seen, dealing with themes of isolation, loneliness, death, and nihilism. You must see this film. Overall: 10/10

EDIT: Something I forgot to mention earlier... If you have a surround sound system, you will really get a lot out of the sound in this film. There are certain scenes where it will sound like the ghosts are whispering right in your ear. Awesome stuff.


I want surround sound.

Not bad really but to enjoy it here's what you have to do. Buy this DVD cheap and then open it and remove the disc. Find out which side contains the original version and which contains the MTV dubbed version. With a large sharpie proceed to black out the MTV side JUST IN CASE you're curious or put it in upside down. Put in the DVD side and watch the original Korean version, it's kind of fun.

I thought the original was coming out here march 3rd. I definately need to see the original first. I also have the .avi of it, but I decided to just wait for the DVD. :)

i get the majority of my asian films at one of the many asian malls we have here in Toronto.
You can usually get them 8 for 30$ and they are boots .. but DVD boots .. great packaging and perfect picture/sound.

the only problem is that although a large percentage of them have english subtitles ..most of the packaging has no english at all. Because of this i have bought some titles over and over again.
(occasionally there is no english subtitles either)

For all i know I've had a copy of Kairo in my hands and didnt know it. I should bring someone who can read chinese characters with me next time :D

its not like i couldnt appreciate the physical aspects of the film .. but it had the depth of plot of Bloodsport and every stunt was shown 3 times from different angles/speeds ... it really dragged the film down..

mothermold 03-05-2006 11:08 PM

Three Extremes(again)I have to admit "Dumplings" made me a little sick to my stomach,it's rather brutal.

martial arts films have plots :eek: :p

thought it was all man gets wronged, man goes for revenge and kicks anybody's ass who gets in the way.

"NOWHERE TO HIDE" 3/10


Not.... Good. :mad:



With a story, so incredibly lame that it baffled me that the movie could last over 1 hour, and a violent main character that annoyed the hell out of me, this movie was doomed after the first 15 minutes... Grrrrrrrr..

yeah i know ... i cant help it :)

i still need a little something more ..

Enter the Dragon wasnt that deep but there were enough little plot diversions to keep me interested ..


you have to admit though .. the action scene repeating got pretty annoying... if i want to see him jump through a tire again i can rewind it myself :D
