영화 정보

Television heroine, Takako Matsu, plays a middle-school teacher whose four-year-old daughter is murdered. Shattered, she finally returns to her classroom, only to become convinced that two of her students were responsible for her daughter's death. No one believes her, and she may very well be wrong, but she decides that it's time to take her revenge. What happens next is all-out psychological warfare waged against her students in an attempt to force them into confessing what she knows in her heart to be true: they are guilty. And it's true: they all turn out to be guilty, but not of the crime she thinks they committed.

평가 및 리뷰

Made me cry at the end… I really wouldn't label this as a horror, it's a realistic thriller; portrays emotions in a realistic manner with no typical "bad guy" to be seen. While there are no excuses behind things like murder, you do still have to remember the motive and what brought the murderer to that stage. The movie did an excellent job at showing every person has their own story.

Bought this a few years back, one of my favourite Japanese films. Really solid plot even if its typically grotesque like a lot of Japanese thrillers. Totally worth watching and holds your interest the whole way through. Highly recommend.

Psychologically mind-curdling and fantastic in the nature of the plot and the twists, fitting together like a puzzle. It's cruel, unforgiving and reflects the true potential for evil in any person; no matter their identity.
