User Review

For me, as a fan of Japanese cinema, Suicide Club was a real find, as I had watched almost all Japanese horror films and it was difficult to find something new. So, when I came across a film with such a striking title, I immediately rushed to watch it. From the very beginning, I was inspired by the scene of 54 schoolgirls committing suicide, who, with smiles on their faces, holding hands, jumped in front of a train on the count of “one, two, three” without any hesitation. What else does a viewer need to keep watching until the end of the film, when you start wondering about the reason for such strange behavior of the characters? I assure you — nothing else is needed.

I have known for a long time that Japanese horror films are a genre of their own, different from all other horror films. That is why many connoisseurs of the genre are skeptical about American remakes of Japanese horror films (I am referring to such famous films as The Ring or, for example, One Missed Call), because any other creator “based on” overlooks the most important thing — the meaning. It is not difficult to convey the emotions of the characters or show the same deaths as in the original. It is difficult to convey to the viewer a plot that would reveal the problem, and this problem is most often purely psychological for the Japanese: the essence of a person, their home, family, and life. Given that the Japanese have a completely different religion than we do or than the Americans, for example, it is impossible for the latter to comprehend the meaning of such a film.

In Suicide Club, we again see a problem aimed at understanding the essence of a person, because it is not for nothing that the film repeats the important phrase several times: “After death, you will not lose touch with yourself.” A confusing plot, lots of mysteries, and no answers are the hallmark of Japanese horror films, where the viewer is given the right to choose the ending they think is right. Only a few clues are given throughout the film, and the nature of those involved in this “game” is revealed. But why their lives turned out the way they did, and not differently, is another mystery, and the viewer can only comprehend the answer by delving deep into themselves and understanding the whole meaning of the film. I won't argue that delving into such a subtle interweaving of various threads of “that” reality is a difficult and sometimes thankless task. That is why Japanese films are not for everyone, but only for connoisseurs.
