Oh dear.

Which is a remake of the equally good (but in no way similar in treatment) to "The Quiet Family".

Classic dark family comedy by Miike. One of his many awesome direct to video works. [www.imdb.com]

Miike is not really a reliably good director, but his good ones are the only ones that ever really get big outside of Japan. And his good ones are amazing.

He's definitely at his best when he's being weird, and this sounds weird enough for me.

Let's not list One Missed Call as one of Miike's most representative works. It ain't bad, but Miike is far more recognised for his freaky yakuza/just plain freaky movies than his horror movies.

But I'm somewhat worried that Miike might be shifting a bit too much towards kids movies. Take Zebraman, for instance.
