Note: Check me out as the "Asian Movie Enthusiast" on YouTube, where I review tons of Asian movies.Hana-Dama: The Origin (2014) (Japanese Horror/Drama).A schoolgirl is relentlessly bullied in this film by Hisayasu Sato. The protagonist here is mentally tough, but decides to endure the bullying until she graduates. The first hour is a teen drama with some uncomfortable moments and nudity, but there is also a nice friendship dynamic between three bullied students. It does get pretty nasty though. The antagonists (which consist of students and teachers) are repugnant scumbags who will make the viewer's blood boil at times. The horror elements ramp up during the final half hour, and they are bizarre, bloody, and blackly humorous. Fans of oddball low budget stuff might want to check this out. It's definitely a bit different from the norm.Recommended.
