Splenid and surreal
This is a great film. A little hidden gem. With the current interest in Asian cinema not to mention specifically Japanese culture I am surprised no-one has commented on IMDb (yet). The film transcends culture however and like all great art, is universal. Not seen it? It's comprised of five vignettes which mostly focus on themes of love and innocence. A running time of two hours allows for each story to be well drawn and satisfying in its own right. There's horror, sci-fi, romance, anime and all wrapped in a beautifully rich blanket of symbol and surrealism. Worth a watch.
Not really horror but is worth a watch from horror fans.
Zoo is composed 5 movie segments that focuses not on the "dark side" of death but on its "dramatic" sense. These stories are composed of some elements that makes the film boring but overall it's a unique one and the stories are made to be touching. "Zoo" segment could have showed more plot because it had the strongest shade of horror but unfortunately it came out boring because of lack of plot. It's just about a man who murdered his lover at a zoo. The other stories are different from this (every story is different from the others, though) because they turn out to have no connection with a zoo park. "Hidamari no shi" is the animated segment of the movie. It doesn't appeal that much to viewers although it's an anime so twenty minutes is a smart length for the segment. "Kazari and Yoko" is the first part of the movie and it's a good start. It's about identical twin sisters Kazari and Yoko who differs almost exactly from one another. One is treated like an animal and the other is loved by their mother. Yoko, the maltreated one, some time had the chance of changing herself and a twist, which I didn't actually understand, changed the way her mother lives with her. "SO-far" is a nice segment and is of a nice twist. A child sees that his mother cannot see his father and his father cannot see or hear her mother, one night when they returned home. Lastly, "Seven Rooms" is the strongest of the five. The seven rooms were filled with one woman each, each day and they're being killed after six days of stay. Satoshi and his sister finds their way out of the room and the reason why they're brought there. This is a simple segment and is kinda incomplete but for me, it's the best. Overall, it's worth a watch and a review! 7/10
NOT horror, but still worth a watch
First off let me start by saying that this is NOT horror. The atmosphere within these stories aren't creepy or scary in the slightest (apart from "Zoo" which has a creepy tone to it) and they seem to belong more in the thriller/drama/mystery categories. With that said I actually really enjoyed this film as whole but I can't really put my finger on why. I just liked the atmospheres and the way the directors decided to portray the stories. The only complaint I have is that the true significance of some of the stories is never revealed which might leave people with a bitter taste in their mouth (if you're a fan of Asian cinema you should be used to it). My personal favourite out of the 5 films: "Seven Rooms". Definitely worth a watch for people who aren't expecting a blood-bath and are okay with watching some well-paced mysterious stories.
5 boring short stories
I have no idea where i found this thing. I consists of mediocre and boring 5 short films. It's definitely not worthwhile
Stop taking my photo
Zoo is composed of five separate stories, the last of which is actually called "Zoo."The first three episodes had wicked twists to them and I enjoyed them in a Hitchcock type of fashion. The animated episode was a complete let down and "Zoo" being an anti-climatic "meh." Worth an inexpensive purchase. Guide: No f-bombs or sex. Brief animated nudity.
