Really enjoyed watching this. While it goes down avenues from other famous titles, it very much has its own edge and is pretty creepy. Had us on edge for most of the film and very much recommended.

Erik Peter Carlson directed/wrote another masterpiece in my opinion. Erik knows how to tackle real and dark themes in a way not too many film makers can. Similar to Erik's work in The Toy Soldiers, WOLF MOTHER delivers what it set out to do. Najarra Townsend put on a fantastic performance that'll be appreciated for years to come. Kevin Pinassi is a likable and relatable character from beginning to end. This movie is about redemption and I loved it. Anything Erik Peter Carlson or Najarra Townsend do from here on out.. Im 100% on board. If you like a well written drama that is not afraid to dig into some slightly uncomfortable themes and moments in a way that makes total sense. WATCH THIS MOVIE!

"Liverleaf" (2018) directed by Eisuke Naitô based this story on a teen dystopian view on "bullying" and angst. The film is a cinematic interpretation of the manga comic, "Misumisô" by Rensuke Oshikiri. The main target of the bullying is focused on "Haruka Nozaki" (helmed by Anna Yamada) and her family in a nondescript small town. Naitô stays true to the type of overtop violence found in Japanese graphic novels. Most of violence was filmed in a stylish manner, even to the clothing and injuries endured onto the teen characters. "Liverleaf" or "Misumisô" refers to a beautiful purple flower that blooms in the winter landscapes, which why many outdoor scenes were in amidst the social snowy landscape. Nozaki's revenge on her bullies starts to toil when a snowstorm appears. Teen actors were good at delivering psychotic behavior, like the character, "Rumi" played by Rena Ôtsuka. Aside from the celluloid teen assaults, it is a teen love story, or stories. As the film proceeds to a dwindling number of teen survivors, there are plot discovery of a triangle appears. I had viewed it at an international film festival where most of the viewers were starting to laugh when the violent scenes came up. I feel that their laughing was to deal with the on-screen gore; I would think that Naitô would p!ease to see these reactions.

First of all i do really enjoy the cinematography from this movie, it's good. even the story not too perfectly strong and good, i still amaze from how they can make a horror movie so warm. the family sense that they want to show really serve very good. and it has a really good ending too.
