 As the Gods Will (Dir. Takashi Miike) --

Shun complains about his boring life. He should have kept quiet because all the students at his high school are captured. Shun is forced to play a series of deadly games against living statues & figurines.

This film is surreal. Perhaps the series/levels of challenges could be meant to mirror Shun's hobby of video gaming. Winning means co-operation against statues who cheat.

There's plenty of blood & creative deaths. One of the most interesting scenes uses glass beads/marbles filled with blood during a series of head explosions.

Interesting movie that grabbed me from the start.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEh1fT1IH14
