Of all of the the movies in this collection this was the best. Usually the first is because it is most original. The story of a serial killer who kidnaps his victims based in what crimes they have committed in their lives and makes them choose to live or die via playing a very ideally games which usually involves them dismembering themselves in some fashion. SOme learn some don't. The series now contains 6 sequells they should have stopped at 1

WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?!?
This is one of those movies that always shocks me when people say they've never seen it.

The movie follows two detectives who are hunting down a serial killer who is using the Seven Deadly Sins as inspiration for his murders and let me tell you to this day Sloth messed me up so much. But it's the amazing ending that really just makes this movie something special that everyone who is a fan of Psychological Thrillers should definitely watch.

Wednesday Addams smiles!!
The second (and better) of the two 1990 big screen adaptations of The Addams Family, this is the one also starring Joan Cusack, and with Uncle Fester falling in love with her 'Black Widow' serial killer as Morticia and Gomez welcome a new addition to the family, much to the jealousy of Wednesday and Pugsley, who end up off to a summer camp.

Wednesday Addams. Smiling.

That's probably the best scene of the film: either that, or the Thanksgiving Dinner stage play.

Characters – Takakura was a police detective who saw his career take a tragic spin when he fails to save a victim from a serial killer, needing a change he becomes a professor of criminal psychology, moves his family away from the big city to start fresh. His skills are still wanted when his former partner comes to him for help to solve a mysterious disappearance of a family, which will only bring him back into a shocking discovery. Yasuko is Takakura’s wife, she is happy to start a new life and looking forward to meeting the new neighbours and the next step of their lie together. Nishino is the socially awkward neighbour, that doesn’t seem to be able to hold a conversation without getting creepy about it, he keeps his life secret, only opening up on the smallest details when it seems to work for him. Nogmai is the former partner of Takakura, who asks him for help with the latest case doesn’t seem to offer any answers, which will opening up the old version of Takakura who proves himself to be brilliant detective.

Performances – Hidetoshi Nishijima is wonderful in the leading role, which sees him caught between a new life or the old one he was successful in, Teruyuki Kagawa is truly disturbing in his role which will make you feel uncomfortable whenever he is on screen. Yuko Takeuchi is great to watch in her role which sees her caught in the middle of everything going on.

Story – The story here follows a former detective that starts teaching, only to find himself drawn back into a case which might have a connection closer to home for him. This is a story that does take a little bit of time to get going because we do get a clear path we are heading down, but start following two different stories that will connect. The story does become very dark though which is intense to watch to see just what the serial killer has been up to and his plan for people. It only gets upped when Takakura is left knowing the truth and being left helpless to take the killer down at times.

Horror/Mystery – The horror in this film comes form seeing just what the serial killer has been doing with a new unique way of covering up the bodies in his path, the mystery comes from seeing how a former case could become difficult to solve.

Settings – The film shows us how serial killers could operate in any neighbourhood, showing us just how they can get away for so long.


Scene of the Movie – Bag time.

That Moment That Annoyed Me – It does take slightly too long to get going.

Final Thoughts – This is one of the most creepy disturbing serial killer films you will ever see, just seeing how a cat-n-mouse battle takes over.

 

Overall: Intense thriller.
