Audience Reviews for Shôwa kayô daizenshû (Karaoke Terror)

• Aug 04, 2008

  How do you explain a movie like <i>Karaoke Terror</i>? I guess one way to describe it is a twisted film about the generation gap. This film really does have a unique concept, which is enough to get anyone to at least take a glance at it.<p>The title itself is a little misleading. This is not a horror picture by any means, but it is somewhat violent, which is probably where the "Terror" in the English title comes from. The story deals with the vengeful killing between two groups of people. It is 5 middle aged women versus 6 young males (around their 20's). The first 20 minutes or so is a little tedious, but once you realize how the rest of the movie is going to play out, you can't help but continue to watch. It is funny how the deaths just grow and grow as the movie progresses. The pace itself is pretty slow with little to know action. The kills are rather quick, which leaves the parts in between feeling a little lackluster. The story does take advantage of these parts by giving a bunch of background on the characters. The women get a bunch of dialogue driven scenes, while the males not so much. The young men do have the more hilarious sequences though, which is not surprising.</p><p>The acting is quite good. It is a little tough to pick a main character with the way that the movie plays out, but I would have to go with Ryuhei Matsuda as the lead. There really isn't all that much to the acting, but in the end everyone works out.</p><p>I don't really know who this film will cater to, but let me say that this is one of those films that isn't visually stunning or full of non stop excitement. Yet, you have to keep watching. It is also one of those films where you'll probably not watch the DVD too often, but you are proud to have it as part of your collection. You know what? Just watch this flick.
