There is no such thing as a necessary film. And by the way, you partially spoiled the ending. Way to go, pal. :)

Takashi Miike is simply misunderstood. Women frighten him, obviously, and it probably has something to do with the way his mom used to breast-feed him from across the room.

You say the French are screwed up? How about Miike?

I'll allow you to pass the blame.

I was waiting to see who'd put forth that lie… damn you Fure! The post was turned in by 6pm CST (ie Austin-time) leaving it plenty of time to get published that day. Blame the editors for this fiasco, not me!

I'll give you that it's unique, but I don't necessarily think that gives the film a pass. The revelation at the end about why the victim had been put through all that torture – and the antagonist's subsequent response – kinda put the nail in the coffin in defining the picture as unnecessary. I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't seen the film, but the monologue right before the gunshot at the end was essentially, to me, a declaration that everything I had just watched was a waste.

Hey Kevin, what did you think of the major shift in the third act? (Without giving any spoilers of course.) I'm still torn on how I feel about the move from two women fighting past memories and present day hallucinations to… what comes next. Also, the scene with Lucie by the couch and the “thing” starts moving towards her? Terrifyingly awesome.
