Rating: 5 out of 10, – I never would have thought to watch something like this but I completely enjoyed the camp fun and unintentional comedy of what was a pretty good flick. It involved a class of high schoolers who are sent to an isolated island and forced to kill each other until only one remains. There was a high Hunger Games relativity at play. This seems like the fantasy of a Japanese older generation, symbolized by the bloodthirsty teacher, confronted with a disrespectful younger generation. While the plot sometimes careens and starts creeping up on a caricature type flick it always returns to its roots which are the two students you are rooting for. This was enjoyable because the quality is high and even if the premise is a little out there – it was incredibly well done.
MVP: Fujiwara as Shuya Nanahara has real screen presence, even at a young age
