Featured reviews
I immediately wanted to watch this after knowing the cast. And I was not disappointed in the acting department of the movie. I've seen almost every actor in this movie in really different roles and I was immensely impressed by their acting here. Although, I'm not sure if people who are unfamiliar with the cast will enjoy it as much as I did.
The characters' personalities were very eccentric as most Japanese teens in dark disturbing movies are (which actually makes me wonder: are there really Japanese teens with these dramatic and over-the-top reactions and principles or is this just a reflection of anime/manga characters?). However, each character's experiences are a great representation of the different reasons for suicide. That was also one of the best parts of the story: how characters have conflicting reasons on why they want to end their life.
The ending, for me, was great but could have been better. However, the actors made it convincing enough for me to accept it.
I think the movie was overall beautifully shot although I did feel that they achieved it with struggles. In terms of the pace, it's slow as it should be (maybe a bit too slow in the beginning but it did add some tension). It also felt a little bit incomplete.
In summary: good points - fair representation of suicidal teens, cinematography, acting not so good points - it's hard to take the situation seriously if you're not familiar with this kind of genre of japanese film (this hardly counts as a con) bad points - it's not the greatest film but it's on its way to be if they pushed harder (specifically on the ending)

This movie is deep and meaningful. I hope those who think suicide is just stupid but have watched this movie will realize and see through it. To those suicidal, I hope we can find each other. Who knows but who knows?
Twelve teens go into an abandoned hospital to fulfill a suicide pact but on arrival, they find the body of a boy and set out to find out his circumstances.
Great representation of dark, moody teens. Each with their own stories and reasons for being where they are, they are unique and keep you interested.
I liked it. It was a bit slow starting out but it is well acted and written. Not a bad watch.

The name itself present what kind of movie is this! This is about 12 suicidal guys who met up in a abandoned hospital to reach a desicion how should they die. After getting there, they later found a dead body. Then things started getting ugly. They have to find out who killed this guy before suicide.
This movie is filled with mystery. And also the concept is kind of different and compelling.
