Intense

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2008)

This move is creepy, morbid, violent, and disturbing, but it's also like a car accident; people can't help but watch. There are those who will want to lower there gaze. There are those who will think this movie is made for senseless shock value alone, but these people are the ones missing the point. This movie isn't about sugar, and spice, and everything useless unless you're baking. It's about life, the tress, the flowers, and what we are doing to it, how we are destroying it. We humans have become a force of destruction, and the earth taking notice, finally fights back, killing us just as we kill the plants. Just as the flowers drop dead, we drop dead.Just as the grass turns brown and dies, we die. In this movie humans get what's coming to them.
Some of the scenes are uniquely engaging, almost like a nightmare, and they will stay with you. I mean the opening scene alone is a handful of people jumping off a building committing suicide. I had a hard time turning the way people die off in my head at first, but a good movie does that it stays with you.
The movie in its simplest form is a campfire story with a lesson to be learned. The moral of it is to remember "The Golden Rule" do onto others as you would have them do onto you.
