Has anyone else seen this?

I think it's an incredible film. As a fan of the horror genre, I wasn't sure that I'd like a "Horror-Drama", which is what it was described to me as, but I was thankfully wrong. It's one of the best films I've seen from the last decade, by far, if not THE best. Combines amazing visuals, great acting by the main characters, and a plot that fuses a touching love story and horror elements very effectively.

In conclusion this movie rules. Everyone should see it. :lol:

Very very solid movie. A must see in it's original language. The english overdub version ruins it IMO. I am also sad to say there is already an american remake in the works.

I almost never watch foreign films dubbed. I can't stand it...it's really annoying.

What's even more annoying are people who whine about having to read subtitles. :rolleyes:

That's one of my pet peeves. I work at a theater that shows lots of foreign films, we showed this movie, and we get people who complain about that all the time. Either they don't want to read or that "we live in america and everything should be in english"( i actually got that twice). People here are so lazy!

It's a brilliant film. It's the first horror film for a long time to keep me in a state of tension pretty much all the way through. It goes for subtlety, rather than conventional big-shock tactics, and this makes it much, much more unsettling.

The swimming pool scene is one of my favourite scenes of the last 10 years.

What's wrong with not liking subtitles?

Usually it shows a person doesn't like to read. It's not hard to read subtitles and pay attention to what's going on in the film.

What's wrong with not liking reading? My younger brother and father both suffer from medically diagnosed learning difficulties and as such struggle with reading and writing. It also happens they always complain about reading subtitles in films and television shows.

If they have a legitimate problem with reading that is different but from my experience working at a movie theater it is a lot of the time just out of pure laziness that people complain about subtitles.

Can't stand most vampire things in entertainment outside of True Blood, but this was definitely worth watching once if not many more times. :thumbup1:

Dubbing over in English sounds absurd. I've only ever seen Manga films be dubbed, but if you watch a Japanese film with subs everything is intense; if you watch it with dubbing, it just sounds absurd, and all of a sudden Akira is no different from Pokemon

Actually, Cowboy Bebop has a really really decent dub in English. I like it better than the original. Most of the time dubs are of low-quality, feel unauthentic, recycle the same voices, and lose much of the poetry and humor that subtitles can explain. If I know the native tongue it also helps me get a feel for the manner of speaking and slang usage and nuance.

You can't show a non-standard Japanese accent in an English dub. What are you going to do, decide that Okinawan characters should use an Australian accent?

On the other hand, the Japs do this weird thing with having women do squeaky voices for hero males and stuff, it's really off-putting. In one way, I respect the creator, but in another way, I'm just glad to have voices in the logical octave.

BTW "Anime films". Manga/manhwa/manhua are Eastern-style, pulp, black-and-white comics that come in many different genres and are not the modern superhero fantasy stuff we think of when we hear "comic".

[Os Cangaceiros]

The only films I'll watch dubbed are B-movies, like Riki Oh: The Story of Riki.

And old ninja movies. :thumbup1:
