This movie (despite it all being in Japanese) was pretty cool. I like the design of the creature, and the characters were pretty cool too. However, I found the movie to be a tad boring in some parts, and it needs more appearances of the creature. Also, the plot twist at the end just doesn't work. Still a fun movie, based on an amazing game. I quite liked the chase scenes. The characters did make some poor choices at times, such as when the one character just hid in the closet (resulting in death), and another hid in the worst place possible (also resulting in death), Also, there is a scene where you see that one of the characters is actually a murderer, which just isn't true to the franchise. Other than that, it was a fun movie, don't know if I'll watch it again, but I do want to see the sequel, which is supposed to have a release this summer.
