    Yea, just wondering what DLP thinks about it. I mean come on we have all these stories of students killing each other, this has to fit into some DLPistic mind frame.

    In case you've never heard about it, the basics of it is a class of students get kidnapped by the military and forced to fight each other on the island. Each student gets a weapon in order to fight though these are entirely random. In the book one student gets a fork, Yeah kitchenwarfare. There's also the various phsycotic killers, the pussies who die, and sadly enough a couple. But overall its a pretty decent movie.

    I never saw the movie but I have the book it was based upon. I thought it was great. I was a little freaked about the fact that they put a bunch of kids on an island and told them to kill each other. But it was a really good book.

    this has a cult following in japan, it's huge there.

    Haven't found the books yet but I have seen both movies, they are great.

    No longer a pile of snow because the pile melted.
    The girl with the sythe at the beginning is inspiring.

    The pedo-teacher was sort of bizzare though. When the girl he's got a fixation on is about to be killed, he shows up out of nowhere with an umbrella and scares the killer away.

    Lots of blood and backstabbing involved. It was definitely worth seeing.

    Which version of the manga did you all read, a fan translated version (good) or the licensed version (complete shit)?

    And the book is better.
