Now with Suicide Club, they take a whole new concept of what we're afraid of the most and they create something that horrifyingly effective. A very original film compared to all the ne... read more

October 22, 2011Cult Japanese shocker about a new Suicide trend that has started to sweep across Japan affecting it's youth with the police trying to unravel the causes behind it.

April 12, 2011The mass suicide at the very beginning of the movie is sure to achieve attention of most of the viewers. The movie becomes more thrilling and chilling as it progresses.

October 10, 2010One day in May, 54 Japanese happy and healthy school girls line up along the platform of a Shinjuku subway station and simultaneously throw themselves under a speeding train, in an opening sequence quite unlike any other.

June 21, 2009This is only the second asian horror flick i've seen (the first being ringu) and it was at the opposite end of the spectrum from that movie. In the end I kinda liked it, but I didn't like it that much when I was actually watching it, too gross.

July 19, 2008Suicide Club is a very Japanese film, which means that many things you see will seem out of the ordinary. This is a norm when it comes to Japan movies and this film does make some sense. You just need to suck it up and pay attention. This is a strength and a flaw.

...contains an outstanding premise, but mucks it up with inexplicable plot developments and an infuriatingly open-ended conclusion. Full Review

David Cornelius, eFilmCritic.com
The film's an odd blend of mystery, social commentary, experimental freak-out, and all-out horror, and while the blend doesn't always work... it works well enough. Full Review

Rod Gudino, Rue Morgue Magazine
An exceptionally unique movie dying to be rescued from what is essentially a mild case of hubris.

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
A incompatível mistura de humor negro, suspense, drama e divagações pseudo-filosóficas acaba desperdiçando uma premissa que poderia ter gerado um filme fascinante.
