...I dunno. I can't explain the ending either... didn't make it any less beautiful. This is the best that MoH has given us, thus far. I don't think any other director can top Miike, but I welcome them all to try... funny thing being" Miike's not even really a horror director. He's directed a handful of horror material prior to this and it's like he said himself in his interview on the "Imprint" DVD:
"When they picked me, they were probablly just thinking: Let's get the guy who made Audition."
And it worked. Miike is the god of film.
