I have to be honest with you. I haven't seen the whole movie and I fast forwarded some parts of it. The reason is simple. I just couldn't handle it. Not because of the gore, of the blood, of the "super-fast-I can't see sh*t" action scenes, but because it is dull. Plain and simple.
Don't get me wrong, I adore Japanese movies, especially horror-action movies ala Miike. But this was too much even for me. Even though this movie was meant to be fast paced it was slow in my eyes. People were just wandering in the forest aimlessly. And I just couldn't see the point. This movie should be half an hour long.
OK, I give it to the director, some parts were funny, some were original, but in the whole it was boring. Repetitive. The basic idea overused. There are tons of movies like this. The Japanese like to put everything in a movie making it a mess. Samurai, zombies, severed heads, cut-off limbs, blood, machine guns, gun fights, kung fu, flying, supernatural, etc. In one word: GARBAGE.
