one of the most gruesome, distrubing films I have ever seen:
The film opens on May 26th (year unspecified, presumably in the near future) with the by-now infamous scene of a mass-suicide: 54 schoolgirls with an average age of about 15, gather together on a platform at Shinjuku station, for no apparent reason all line up and link hands as the Tokyo-bound train approaches the platform, and with a chilling chant of "A-one... and a-two... and a-three!" in perfect unison, throw themselves in front of the train. The scene of carnage and devastation is horrible: the other people waiting for the train are soaked in blood, there is chaos, one victim's leg smashes through the driver's windscreen, whilst a wheel runs right over another girl's head, whilst the entire station is thrown into total pandemonium.

The Suicide Club OK .... OK , I liked this at first - The films premise that "mass suicide" becomes fashionable among a large portion of Japanese teenagers IS pretty cool. It starts with a BANG!! (50 very cute , giggling teenage catholic school girls, hold hands and jump onto the train tracks - before a moving subway train ) ...... This scene is chillingly directed and had me excited with promise and potential for the film ........ Unfortunately , it ended with a disappointing whimper colored in washed out red. I mean it was like they had Paul McCartney write the end!
