Bairokêshon (2013)
Atypical horror/thriller
Having seen a few Japanese "horrors", I have come to expect the unexpected. For those of you who have only seen the scary J-Horrors, you may be disappointed. For those like me who adore both those movies - and movies like (the exceptional) Memento Mori that have far more depth and emotional gravitas - then you may just enjoy Bilocation. The horror/action in Bilocation was for me the least interesting, sometimes coming across as a little clumsy, and why I could not give it 9 stars. However, the universe it creates around the bilocation phenomenon, and how the characters decide to fight it/manipulate it, is extremely well thought through and keeps you guessing right to the end. Definitely give it a try if scares is not the only thing you expect from J-Horror - which I have come to not assume as the case. If there is such a genre as Pathos Horror, this would fit perfectly.
