I like this a lot more than "The Burmese Harp". Too much singing in that one. Worth watching in a gut-churning matinee with Eastwood's "Letters From Iwo Jima".

This film was unsettling for some reason. I watched this after 'The Burmese Harp' and such a contrast. One was quite soothing and inviting while this felt uncomfortable and exhausting in a way that didn't appeal to me.

slow film, but man does it punch hard, one of the most emotionally draining and disturbing films i have ever watched and probably will ever watch. This movie is powerful, and shows how pitiful, vile, unevolved, and barbaric humans can be when you strip away their humanity and leave them to rot and die. Excellent movie altogether, just... hard to watch and may make you sick. Monkey meat did it in for me

This movie was definitely something that I had to get into, as the more time that passed the more intriguing the circumstances surrounding Private Tamura became. There were some pretty epic shots here, definitely not to be ignored. Unfortunately, compared to some of the war focused films I have seen, this was not particularly impressive. It didn't captivate me, really. Even when Tamura made terribly immoral choices.

artistically and cinematically beautiful, but very, very depressing and emotionally dark; like few war films, this truly makes you want to loose all human hope after watching it.

More of a survival, and what Humans do to survive than a war film. Great film, and makes me not want to go camping.

Here it is folks, the original flesh-eating-zombie film. This is such an profound portrait of the effects of war unlike anything else that has ever been told. I cannot recall a film that made me as thirsty as I was while watching this. Truly and bitterly effective.
