WTF Japan, Seriously reminded me by posting a trailer.
Battle Royale.
Comparing it with The Hunger Games is likely unfair, but also inevitable. On one level, they're very similar. Kids are forced to enter a contest to kill one another at the behest of a corrupt administration of some sort.
Battle Royale, however, takes it much further than any American-made movie would go.
* Explosive collars
* Psychopaths
* Spraying blood
* Horrible betrayal
Did I mention explosive collars?
This is one of my ten most favorite movies ever.
That does not say good things as to my character, but such is life.
