Kickass and controversial Japanese sci-fi action masterpiece based on a novel that has became a cult classic over the last decade and finally MADE IT to the US on DVD and blu-ray last year from Starz/Anchor Bay to cash-in on the similar themed "Hunger Games" movie.
It's graphically violent and gory stuff as it's set in the future in an alternate world where junior high kids go against the school system, there is a special program for them on a private island where in 3 days they wear special tracking collars as they must murder each other for one will be the victor. However two lovers don't want to fight as they have to escape the hellhole island even if they have to kill some friends in the way.
Loved this since i got a R0 copy at one of my city's comic conventions and been one of my faves since, thank god Starz/Anchor Bay put BR 1 & 2 on nicely remastered blu-ray collector's edition set even with a bonus disc of extras.

I'm heard great things about this, now legendary, flick for the better part of the last decade. I'm happy it is finally available on this side of the Pacific. I'll be sure to buy my copy asap.

Make sure to get the 3-disc blu-ray complete collection which has part 1 with both theatrical/director's cut and BR 2 with a bonus extras disc, a great bargain.

Damn, I do wish the Critters series would be released on blu-ray someday soon.
