AS most Japanese movies this was odd... A group of teens, 12, who guess it?, join together in an abandonment hospital. There they are committed to kill themselves in a group effort. Either they all die or none die.
We've got different archetypes of characters, like the ruffian, the intelectual, the goth, the popular etc.. They all have one thing in common, either by one reason or another want to die.
Thus it begins this adventure, but it's soon cut off when they found a 13 element apparently dead in a bed. Then this tale turns to mystery and see the situation that unfolds before their meeting.
We also learn a bit about each one, well only a couple or else the movie would have 3 hours.
Overall it was very emotional, less horror, to be honest I don't see any horror elements but it's catalogued like that.
It was interesting to see, how people who in the outside might look like a normal person then twhen confronted with the upending doom they back down.
What di you learn with this? Even a life of pain is worth living. Advisable to any Japanese movie lover. If it's your first don't start here
