Viewing Notes
In typical Miike fashion the ending is anachronistic and only then is it really clear that he’s poking fun at the entire J-horror genre! The alternate ending drives it home a little more but with less subtlety. I’ll have to watch the interview with him in the extras.
I’m guessing the sequels don’t take the same approach.
