All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

Perfect Blue (1997)

Director: Satoshi Kon

Premise:
A popular singer retires from music and goes into acting. She has to do things which jeapordizes her morals in order to make it to the top and is stalked by a man who doesn't like her decisions. Soon she starts to loose a grip on what is real and what is not.

My Take:
I'm usually not a big fan of anime but this one is really knocks it out of the park. It combines a lot of neat elements and multiple stories into the big mystery. A visually stunning piece of work.

Rating: So Good
