Mariko Shinoda, Erina Mano, Reina Triendl, Yuki Sakurai, and Aki Hiraoka in Comedy Nights with Kapil (2013)
Sion Sono's gory, pro-feminist mashup of grindhouse and arthouse... Japanese auteur Sion Sono follows up the deliriously entertaining Tokyo Tribe, with Tag, a surreal horror that combines his arthouse aesthetics with equal doses of pro-feminist action fantasy, and the kind of ultra-gory exploitation filmmaking that would make Takashi Miike and Yoshihiro Nishimura proud. Mitsuko (Reina Triendl) is the sole survivor of a bizarre paranormal incident that kills all of her classmates. Running for her life, Mitsuko seemingly slips into an alternate reality, but death and chaos seems to follow her everywhere. As Mitsuko finds herself in increasingly surreal and violent situations, the true horror behind her nightmare is revealed. With a jaw-dropping opening sequence reminiscent of Sono's earlier cult masterpiece, Suicide Club, Tag is a mind-bending slice of action-horror, Alice in Wonderland meets Tokyo Gore Police. Eureka Entertainment to release TAG, a dreamlike, mind-melting blend of action and fantasy from Japanese cult director Sion Sono, for the first time in the UK in a Dual Format (Blu-ray & DVD) edition on 20 November 2017, following screenings at some of the UK's leading film festivals. Available to order from Amazon http://po.st/PiSHbt

    • Trivia
      The music used in the background is the same music in The Walking Dead opening score.
    • Goofs
      In the beginning, when the buses and girls are sliced in half, many of the bodies spurt blood into the air, like geysers. But this wouldn't happen, because without the top halves of their bodies, they would be missing the organ responsible for the movement of all blood in a body--their hearts.

    What?

    I loved parts of it and absolutely despised other parts of it.

    The film accomplishes leaving the audience member with a sense of escape from eternal solitude and despair. This is an amazing thing to make others feel. Sadly, there is alot of random annoying things in the film too.

    Watch it if you are interested.
