Viewing Notes
Today I finally finished watching Dragon Head (over 3 sittings). It wasn’t an easy film for me to watch. Best described as twisted spin on Day After Tomorrow meets 28 Days Later post-apocalyptic theme set in modern Japan the flick is dreary, bleak, hopeless, grim, etc. Based on a manga series by Mochizuki Minetaro, Dragon Head is not a bad movie by any stretch just very desperate. There was a tremendous amount of fanfare around this flick when it was released in Japan last year and I’m not sure why (maybe from the popularity of the manga?) b/c it’s not particularly all that great but is worth watching. And the sets and demolished landscapes were done extremely well.
