Battle Royale. Now this is one of a kind.

Their solution: the Battle Royal Survival Programme. Every year a randomly chosen ninth-grade class is taken to a deserted island, issued with weapons, and told that the last survivor gets to go home again. It sounds like a cheap, ultra-speculative action flick, but it is amazingly well thought out and has the finest set of young actors I've ever seen. The fact that most of them really are 15 or 16, just like the characters they're supposed to portray, just makes it all the more chilling. |
i have that film. i dont know how disturbed i was by it but it was done much better than i thought it was going to be. i thought it was going to be incredibly shloky and cheaply done. but it looked good and i thought the acting by the kids was impressive. hey. we agree! ;}
i saw a movie a while ago called NEKROMATIC. that movie was pretty...ummm...heh....yeah.....
