Kirei (2004)

Great idea, meh execution

I had high hopes for this movie in the first half because the plot is very intruiging. The build-up of tension as Yoshie asks for more and more surgeries and begins to snoop around in the doctor's life is quite suspensful and I enjoyed it.
However, aside from the graphic gore, I found the acting underwhelming, especially towards the last act. It feels like they used the excessive gore and sex scenes as a way to make it horror, but fail to give the story a satisfying conclusion. Additionally, not getting ANY information on Yoshie seems like a lazy route in my opinion.
So in conclusion, this movie was a good idea on paper but badly executed, and the characters were so shallow I didn't remember any of their names except Yoshie. Lastly, as someone who speaks german I was greatly offended by the lover using the german word for female genitalia and other random words during sex, that is such a turnoff lmao
