Has anyone else seen this movie? It's japanese and banned in most other countries including USA and Canada. It's about an island of 42 students where they are forced to kill each other. Very very violent, but well done. Each student has a kill sensor on their neck, if 2 people are still alive after 3 days, everyone dies.

it's not banned in North America, there just isn't a north american distributor. You can still buy it off of ebay.

The sequal is being filmed this summer.

lol it's very easy to find! Don't make it out to be some big super secret movie that no one can find!

It was huge in Japan...you can get a DVD copy off of eBay for like nine bucks american.

i just downloaded it off kazaa, not a bad movie. After a few minutes you don't notice the subtitles any more. Its pretty grusome but not nearly as bad as i thought it would be.

That sounds fairly psychotic - killing each other to survive. I mean what would drive you to sign up for that kind of show in the first place
