Well that was interesting. It felt like a movie chocked full of stereotypical teen conflicts, but that always ended in violence, which I dunno really makes a 2 hour movie. Maybe an episode in an anthology? 🤷‍♂️

Maybe it's because I'm watching this in 2026, but it all seems horribly contrived ( not to mention brutal), and it just keeps going on and on and on...

I know I've seen most of #BattleRoyale before, but I don't think I've ever seen it to the end. Man, that was great. Thanks for hosting, @[email protected] and thanks to the rest of y'all for watching along. G'night everyone. #HorrorWatch
Ah c'mon, they're Japanese. It's fun! Except when it's totally heartbreaking for a minute. Then it's fun again! #HorrorWatch #BattleRoyale

I dunno if I can handle two whole hours of this teen s**t.

There's something so transgressive and so wrong about watching a room full of teenage schoolgirls turn into the end of Reservoir Dogs in the span of a few minutes. Especially when it's not shot any different from a fun time shoot-em-up in a Robert Rodriguez flick. I love it. #HorrorWatch

This is a 2 hour movie?

Well... this looks crazy.

They guy that they got to dub Beat Takeshi just cracks me up. He's so cartoonish and over the top, it fits right in with the tone of the rest of the movie. #HorrorWatch #BattleRoyale
Any of y'all ever read Avengers Arena? It's exactly this but with Marvel's teen heroes. And it was a lot of fun and heroism and pain and sadness, exactly like this. #BattleRoyale #HorrorWatch
