Two pieces of advice to anyone who has not seen this movie - 1. Do not watch it when you are eating. 2. Do not watch it when you are pregnant. And as someone who watched it whilst both pregnant and eating, my third piece of advice would be to NEVER do the two together.

YES! A Bathory of 21 Century. Japanese Movies like these are very grusome, even the Low Budgets ones needs strong nerves to watch. Not excactly creepy, it is sick and disturbing.

Makes you think about what you would do to be/stay young, slim and beautiful. A great shock film for the modern age, not only showing 'women's vanity', as some would put it, but the reason most become so obsessed - the love and attentions of men. And as in real life, it shows how... read more

the film gives psychological elements of some grotesque beyond fear factor food ingredients while showing almost nothing. I love it when they do close-ups while amplifying the slurping sound of the actress eating the dumlings.
