Fuan no tane

A group of eyeballs crawling on a road are run over by a car. That’s not the beginning of some absurd anecdote, but the first scene of this (well, absurd) Japanese horror movie, which makes clear to everyone that this won’t be a very normal experience. It’s a strange mix of extremely effective and extremely weird scenes (for instance, the one with the fake hand in the rubbish, I have absolutely no idea what that one was supposed to be about), but together they create a remarkably disturbing and astonishing whole that I didn’t quite understand, but I still had a lo of fun. It truly chilled me a couple of times and some of the sequences, like “blackout” after the 40th minute, scared the living shit out of me. Even though I’m not a big fan of this bizarre stuff from Asia, this one deserves thumbs up. (26.05.2014)
