Review of Death Trance (2005) by Marques M — 11 Sep 2007

This is no "Versus", but it is entertaining. The main point of this movie seems to be to showcase what working with Ryuhei Kitamura had taught this film's director and star (both of whom worked with Kitamura frequently), and to that effect they show a considerable amount of growth. But there is also potential here, and that's a good enough reason to warrant a recommendation to me. You don't have to lower your standards to enjoy this film, but the final fight (if you can call it that...) will likely disappoint anyone. The road leading to it is loads of fun though.

You won't lose sleep not having seen this, but it's still worth a rental or even a purchase for the Dir En Grey song played over the credits alone depending on how much it'll cost you...
