9/10
Forwarding the death message
10 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I have watched all the three chakushin ari series. Chakushin ari final might not be as good as the first two but was still wonderfully done. I have read many bad reviews about this excellent film, and I cant understand why people did not like this film. I thought it was done well in many aspects. I thought this film was definitely underrated and definitely deserved a higher score. The difference between this film and the first two is that this film focuses on the emotions of the characters and not the scares. This isn't a bad thing because the film is still interesting. Victims can actually forward the death messages to others to save their own lives. The teenagers in this film acted very well. This film has got 9 death scenes. 7 of them were done very well, 2 of them were funny(but silly). Every death scene is sort of unique from one another. I still found this film to be very scary especially the washing machine scene and the last death scene which the victim actually vomited blood. This film is good because you can actually sense the fear on the teenager's faces when they receive the death messages. They desperately do whatever it takes to save their own lives. People who love touching films would probably find this film to be the best one out of the series. For me I still love this film but I prefer the first and second. This film is as fast paced as the first one unlike the second film which was quite slowly paced. There were many many touching scenes at the end of the film that makes this film so successful. This is probably one of the most touching J-Horror film I have seen. This film does not really have much of the mystery elements that contribute to the scares but that doesn't matter. The film is still extremely nice to watch. I highly recommend this film. Score:9/10
