It's been a decade
since director Miike used blood-n-horror to paint his motion picture canvas.
Here - now - is his strongest, most extreme film since ICHI
THE KILLER, AUDITION
and GOZU...
a demented variation of the BATTLE
ROYALE theme finds mayhem - bloody mayhem - within the walls of
a Japanese high school. Crimson flows freely from the beginning to the
controversial end, Miike is back with a vengeance!
At the center of this
blood bath is a charismatic teacher named Seiji Hasumi. He has just begun
teaching English at a Japanese high school after returning from the United
States amid rumors of a mysterious and questionable past. Although he
gives the impression of stability, and his students love him, something
isn't quite right. Another teacher, Tsurii, begins to suspect Hasumi's
true nature but doesn't live long enough to pursue his suspicions.
