This week on Horror Thursday, we're looking at a slasher film from Kenta Fukasaku, the screenwriter of Battle Royale and the writer/director of Battle Royale II: Requiem. He brings his eye for brutality and realistic teenage behavior to someone else's totally ridiculous story and almost make magic happen. Almost. A meta-text on slasher films paying tribute to everything from Psycho to Scream that starts to take itself too seriously, which in itself is a commentary on oh so serious slasher films that commit to ridiculous twists just to have a twist. It's like Inception, only it all boils down to a school dance. So, you know, not at all like Inception. Horror Thursday: Black Rat
