Overall this film was a bit of a frustrating watch. It's a pretty interesting story overall, but the cinematography is supremely annoying, with constant cuts every few seconds like the entire thing is one long action sequence. It seems counterintuitive to do this for a suspense film.
There is not a single likeable character to root for either. Kanako, who is the focus of the film, really has no discernable reason for being the way she is revealed to be. Felt absolutely nothing for her throughout. Her father is really just a jerk to everyone he meets, and physically assaults multiple schoolgirls and rapes other women throughout without consequence. The story is rife with disturbing scenes as such.
I actually think the film gets a bit better as it progresses, culminating in a decent ending. By that point however, it doesn't really make up for the first part having more jarring rapid-fire camera cuts than a Steven Seagal action sequence along with a disjointed storyline.
If you're into gore and parody-level dialogue, you might enjoy this. Not one I'd want to watch again though.
