Review of Battle Royale (2000) by Kadeemluvmusic — 01 Jul 2016

Before I get a chance to see The Hunger Games, Battle Royale still holds to this day as a definitive landmark of Japanese cinema. It's so brutal, it's so violent, and sometimes very disturbing to watch showcasing a group of young Junior High School students (including a brave little girl at the beginning) fighting for their lives against hordes of malicious armed military sargents and parents please look away.

.. because this film was inspired by many horror classics like Carrie and another Japanese horror classic, Ring. I gotta say... Director Kinji Fukasaku got some serious balls making Battle Royale. If you haven't seen it, maybe it's time for you to re-watch this movie all over again.

You will not be disappointed. It's the perfect gore-fest movie to start your Independence Day more badass than it was in 2000.
