A wave of unexplainable suicides sweeps across Tokyo after 54 smiling high school girls join hands and throw themselves from a subway platform into an oncoming train. Detective Kuroda (Audition's Ryo Ishibashi) and the rest of the police force are baffled as the bloodbath triggers a wave of suicides across the city. When a cryptic phone call tips off police to a strange website that appears to be tracking the suicides before they happen, the question becomes, are they really suicides at all? This outrageously bizarre, wicked social critique in the form of a creepy and enigmatic detective mystery examines the despair of the disaffected Japanese youth and the influence of pop culture on their lives. From international film festival favorite to cult sensation, Suicide Club is a study of contemporary morality that is gruesome, darkly comic and vividly original

  I have to say this movie is good but I'm never gonna watch it again...
  To describe this story as disturbing will be not enough. Mine first reaction when movie had ended was - David Lynch makes normal and boring movies... Seriously! I don't want to even try to understand it. Movie worth watching although few scenes were a like from B-type horror movies.

  Side note: Suicide Club has a sequel. It’s called “Noriko’s Dinner Table” and is indispensable for understanding this movie and the story’s complexity.
  
  Suicide Club is being described as a horror movie and while it does contain elements which justify the classification, it shocks with an irrational absurdness rather than by depicting nightmarish events.(Gore is present but not the central attraction.)
  
  If I were asked to describe Suicide Club in three words it would be the following: creepy, chaotic and surreal.
  
  The actors’ performances are convincing, but as locations are changed rapidly and attention is paid to multiple characters while none is detailedly introduced, a sole character’s portrayal is of no importance.
  
  The music is generally appropriate, but surprisingly, positively contradictious at times.
  Suicide Club also contains two full-length songs, one of them as bizarre as possible.
  
  Why should you be watching this?
  Although Suicide Club was promoted as a movie on its own, it leads to more questions than answers.
  It’s part of a jigsaw and can be seen as the threshold to a ridiculously witty story which unravels in “Noriko’s Dinner Table”.
  I highly recommend watching both movies, while Suicide Circle serves its purpose as a foundation, it does not fail to entertain. read more

  Suicide Club and Noriko’s Dinner Table – to fully appreciate them and understand the story you’ve got to watch them both.
