31 Days of Halloween: Day 22 - Corpse Party

 

When you're in the mood for something over the top.

Release Date: August 1, 2015

Starring: Ikeoka Ryosuke, Ikoma Rina, Yoko Kita

Genre: Video game/J-horror

Plot Summary: After performing a friendship ritual that goes horribly wrong, a group of students are transported to a school that was closed years ago due to a series of murders. To escape from the malevolent spirits that inhabit the building, they need to find a way to reverse the ritual.

Favorite Scene: The infirmary. But I think that's mostly because the infirmary was one of the creepiest parts of the game.

Favorite Quote: "Don't look. Don't look. Don't look. Don't look..." Again, related to one of the creepiest parts of the game.

Notable Trivia: The music from the game is used in the movie.

Final Thoughts: This movie won't be for everyone. It's kind of campy. It's extremely gory. However, I think this is the best video game movie ever made. Movie adaptations of video games are known for being awful. (And yes, Silent Hill was pretty bad and the sequel was even worse, though they're still significantly better than the Resident Evil movies and whatever Uwe Boll has ever made.) This one was decent. And I love the game, so I was excited to see they made a movie based on it.
