Viewing Notes
Basically a micro budget Japanese remake of SPECIES starring popular AV idol Maria Ozawa (the Japanese Jessica Alba pornstar), who is perfect for this non-speaking, cold character. Not nearly the 3/10 rating on TMDb but not a very good movie either. Just kinda okay but I like how the low budget constraints force some tricky editing even if it’s a little cheesy. The lean into the unfortunate societal issues makes for an interesting take on the story just needed a better screenplay and bigger budget. But that’s not really what they were going for in this faux V-cinema quickie.
