While I feel much of the subnarrative, metaphors and themes of Piercing were lost on me, I was undoubtedly uncomfortable for the entirety of my viewing, so that must be a testament to it's quality as a horror movie. Definitely not my cup of halcyon tea, but definitely one I'd recommend to those looking for a shocking, unsettling film with a dash of absurdity and comedy.

its based on a ryu murakami novel, so. it's not all going to make sense, but it's all going to be fucking weird. and good. weird good. i loved the acting. also, this movie is what happens when an american movie adapts a weird japanese story correctly.

While I don’t think it classifies as a horror certainly some scenes were horrific. What a quirky odd little film. I enjoyed it but for the life of me I can’t tell you why. It reminded me of some other film but I’m not sure which. I kinda want to go watch it again because I think I may have missed something that would tie it all together in my head but my sense is, probably not.

With delightfully unhinged capability behind the camera, the final edit (emphasis on 'edit') of Piercing is a bizarre troupe of oddballs about human connection and how fear can go with it. It's a post-production fiesta, offering us some inc More

**_Great style, precious little substance_**

> _In most movies like this, these sort of psycho, sexual thrillers, the female character is there to be a damsel in distress, there to be naked or there to be killed in a really brutal way. This movie sets up, here's a guy who wants to kill a prostitu More

All style, no substance

From Nicholas Pesce, the writer and director of The Eyes of My Mother (2016), Piercing is a darkly comic psychosexual thriller. Partly a screwball comedy about a fastidious man's attempt to murder a prostitute, and his confusion and helplessness when he realises that that pr More
