the other thing i disliked about that adaptation is that like, the horror of nakayama's work is the idea it could happen to Anyone, for No Reason, At Random. it's not remotely your own fault, none of the people "deserve it," it just happens and there's nothing you can do. the fact that the horror happens isn't vengeful or targeted it's not even evil, it happens simply because it happens

....... and the movie makes it out to be that its protagonists are "cursed" and "predisposed" to all the shit that happens to them. because it has protagonists in the first place which meanseverything has to be happening to Them. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (TOMATO) (TOMATO) STOP MAKING IT SOUND AVOIDABLE FOR EVERYONE ELSE!! IN NAKAYAMA'S WORLD EVERYONE IS EQUALLY LIKELY TO JUST HAVE BAD LUCK ONE DAY AND ENCOUNTER SOMETHING STRANGE AND POSSIBLY DEADLY!!! IT IS AS RANDOM AS LIGHTNING AND IT IS NOT MOTIVATED BY MORALITY NOR CAUSALITY NOR JUSTICE NOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN HUNGER

#txt #again. probably an okay movie for anyone who Doesn't know his stuff that well #though i would neverrecommend it as a first exposure.#but definitely not great for people who like NAKAYAMA'S style. because that is not what that movie is #ALSO IT HAS A LOT OF JUMPSCARES IT DOESN'T NEED.#like. if you were doing this correctly #jumpscares and sting noises aren't necessary #nakayama's artwork has jumpscared me in a completely silent setting where i was in control over the turn of the page #youdo not need the fucking scary noises his horror speaks for itself
