Macabre yet oddly poignant, graphically physical but also metaphysical, clinical yet unexpectedly soulful.

A typically worthless endeavor from noted hack Shinya Tsukamoto...

Beautiful and disturbing, this Asian horror art film explores the intersection between madness and grief with a serene calm that belies the psychological turmoil under its silken surface.

RTAll Movie GuideAug 4, 2005

Vital offers its share of disturbing images and gristly medical-lab sound effects, but in the end, its pursuit of closure is surprisingly hopeful.
