Viewing Notes
Continuing through the 101 Cult Classic List. Dubbed was only option - bummer. So Gory! Pretty good costume design. Some parallels with the Hunger Games movies. Weird old timey music.

when Hunger Games the book came out it was compared to Battle Royale but the comparison really blew up when the movie came out, “oh so it’s just ripping off Battle Royale?” ofc there’s similarities but I do think Hunger Games is doing a little more with the basic premise.
