Friday night found me at
Tim's apartment hanging out with a few
SJEC students from Japan. Among other things, we saw
Zatoichi, a Japanese epic featuring:
A blind swordsman
A crazy half-naked wannabe samurai
Lots of blood
Cross-dressing geisha
Random tap dancing
What more could you want?
We also saw Ju-on: The Grudge, a truly bizarre horror film loosely centered around this house that curses and kills anyone who lives in, sells, acts in, or visits it. There wasn't much of a cohesive plot other than random freaky things killing everyone who somehow came in contact with the house and lots of disturbing images. But even at the end of the second part (of the 3-hour movie) we still don't understand why all these people died. But it did establish a sort of code of conduct for each of the characters:
Any creepy sound should be investigated alone, with a petrified look on your face as though you know it's supernatural.
Once you've deduced that something is trying to kill you, the best strategy is to split up and try to investigate the killing force on your own.
When confronted by some apparition intent on killing you, back into a corner and scream melodramatically. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt to escape, run for an exit, fight back, or seek help.
