I actually got a bootleg version of this movie on ebay and am now just buying it from Amazon. What the amazon info gives you is most of the story of the movie but when you finally see it you will come to understand why it is such a cult icon movie both and Japan and the United States. As you see the movie you feel that the director actually got how a real-life person would react in this situation could you kill you're best friend or another person you knew to survive.The acting from all the people I felt was great and they brought out the emotion you felt that character would have in that situation.The killings though bloody aren't any worse than what you see in any PG17 or R-rated movie there are suggested sex scenarios(What I mean by that is you see in one scene a pool with a few boys in the nude dead and the girl who killed them dressing up and leaving.) For the price of this movie I say it's worth it but again just to specify this is definitely not a family viewing movie
