The other 2017 movie of note, a Japanese non-slasher flick!
People die in nasty ways, wasps, poison, stabbing... but there are no wasps, poison or stabbers! Instead, if you want someone to die, to contact a man who stares at the person and then they die. It's the power of suggestion, but Inspecter Tada is immune to his ability, but refuses to stoop to murder herself. But as killing abounds, can she stick to her principles or let more people die?
This movie sets out the killer straight away, and the method not that long after, so it becomes a test to see how quickly the police can act. Although it does get a little (unintentionally) silly when the killer just turns up and says "hey, I killed them" and nothing happens (because of a little thing called proof). And there is also ironic deaths that lead to more ironic deaths.
The main special effect is the red eye and then CGI style screen effects, otherwise there is decent action as the deaths play out and chasing is abound. This is based on the manga, which no doubt had a lot of easier time representing visual weirdness. I nearly want to check that out, but doubt I'll track it down.
Not terrible, but Inspector Tada just keeps letting the killer go too much.
