Disturbing yet enthralling

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

i enjoyed this movie, but i feel certain that u have to have seen the higurashi anime or played the game before watching this, otherwise it may not make much sense...but i guess anyone looking for this movie is doing so coz they loved the anime (like me!).i cant give too much away without spoiling it, so all il say is this movie is based on Rena-chan's arc in the 1st higurashi and is more violent and intense than the previous 'shrill cries of summer' movie...its definitely not for kids, even though its all about kids, with plenty of profanity and blood, violence and disturbing scenes...the acting is average, but the scenery and way it follows closely to the anime was cool, with the same sense of menace and paranoia...
