Esse filme merece reconhecimento por sua originalidade! Afinal, onde já se viu um musical sobre a morte? Enfim, tinha tudo para ser uma obra-prima, mas infelizmente Miike extrapolou o limite do bizarro com suas sequencias em "massinha", além de perder a oportunidade de intercalar mais números musicais. Mas mesmo assim vale muito a pena conferir esse filme, personagens engraçados (como o tal de Richard) e a cena do karaoke compensam qualquer erro...

Weird as fuck. Miike is the da.

cute

It is easy to focus only on the outrageously unique style (bizarroland horror-comedy! with stop-motion!). But the characters and narrative is really something out of an Ozu wholesale catalogue, all of them brilliantly conceived. It only helps that they happen to sing and dance and bury dead people.

"The director, bizarrely, uses the medium of zombie musical to show the charmingly shambolic way in which he embraces good-old family values."

Fantastic. Incredible musical numbers (including the single greatest discovery of a dead body ever) and apart from the slow beginning the rest of the film holds up surprisingly well. An impressively and refreshingly heartfelt and humane portrayal of a family from Miike, this film might seem empty and meaningless at first but by the end it reveals itself to be a very uplifting film. Loved it.

One of the best musicals for decades (as vague as any genre label could be for this) and it's from Takashi Miike. Disregarding some lame claymation ideas - this is just awesome.

What's it all about. Who the fuck knows? Nearly every Takashi Miike film is an exercise in mental absurdity but the boundaries of reality are bent whenever he wants here. The claymation is a bizarre touch especially the first 10 minutes. It's certainly a change of pace with Miike trying to humor us with a musical dark comedy instead of grossing us out with sadism and shock gore. The atmosphere has shades of the classic Hausu. In more ways than one this film seems like an homage to that.

Remake of the eminent Kim Ji-woon's debut film The Quiet Family, with added musical numbers, claymation, and a good dose of the Miike insanity. Plus Kiyoshiro fucking Imawano. Needless to say, it's fantastic, although some of the musical numbers could be more inspired.

çok çok güldürdü.

This is one weird as hell movie. It's crazy. It's Japanese. It's a musical, and it's full of dead bodies. Sometimes, singing and dancing dead bodies. And there's claymation involved sometimes. Uh, look, just watch it.

I honestly don't even know what to say. You'll just have to see it for yourself. Takashi Miike is a genius.

You'll probably catch this on ABC Family channel some night.

The best thing i can say about this film is that it's entirely unique, and that alone makes it a success in my book. The fact that it is also surprisingly hilarious at times, and actually manages to work as a musical is just icing on the cake.

So what doesn't this film do? It features singing and dancing in a 'musical' format, it is dramatic, horrific, romantic, and funny. And there are zombies. In amongst singing and dancing. Different, that's for sure. But bloody good.

"Though uneven, this genre-defying creation's spectacle is still never less than awesome to behold." - Ed Gonzalez

Certainly an experience. The sense of humor and songs are all great. It might be a mess, but it sure is unique.

Possibly the strangest film ever made. It gains points just for over the top WTF-ness. It loses points for awful animation and transitions.

best miike movie

Hilariously bizarre. A disney-like musical with a body count.

I've never seen a movie that tried to do so much as this one. Sometimes hilarious, at other times profound. Great movie.

It's Miike all right, with great songs and dance numbers. The guy in the sailor suit rocks my world.

happiest movie I've ever seen I love it more than anything

A good film, and it's very funny. Though some of the singing parts seem a little overdone. It's a good film about family.

IIII RRRUUUVVV UUUU

Bizarre, often perversely funny. At some points the concept seems stretched thin and repetitive, though.
