The climax is formidably bloody, but if you’ve got the stomach for it, Shion Sono’s ludicrous spectacle makes for compelling viewing.
The grisly, absurd violence of the final hour puts a wrecking ball through whatever interest this film might have accumulated.
Cold Fish is truly not for the faint-hearted.
It's overlong, drenched in blood and rather like attending a school for apprentice butchers.
Gallows humour and character twists offer welcome reprieve from the largely hysterical acting and rivers of viscera.
All leading to a suitably shocking, if a little predictable, blood soaked finale.
It’s something of a cold fish of a film.
