OK well on the surface this Japanese medical horror film seemed kind of interesting to me and as I work in the medical field I am a bit skeptical of most horror films which incorporate medical "stuff" because 99 percent of the time its so laughable it ruins it for me. This movie is a bizarre mix of supernatural and ghost oriented stuff, medical malpractice, and gore. So people start turning green and dissolving and injuring themselves, weird stuff is afoot. Genuinely creepy atmosphere in an old decrepit hospital, crazy patients, creepy kids. Yep. But the movie becomes less coherent as it goes on which is usually the opposite of movies trying to make a metaphysical or philosophical statement, which I kind of think this movie was trying to make (??). A frustrating experience for sure.
