So, 'Lesson of the Evil' is a real trip. Takashi Miike crafts this dark tale about a seemingly charming English teacher, who, beneath that polished exterior, is a cold-blooded killer. The atmosphere is thick with tension; you can feel the dread creeping in as the story unfolds. The pacing is deliberate, giving you enough time to get comfortable before it pulls the rug out from under you. Miike's practical effects really stand out—gritty and visceral, they enhance the horror without relying too much on CGI. And those performances? Wow. The lead's duality is captivating—he's both charismatic and terrifying. It's this unsettling mix of themes around morality and the consequences of bullying that makes it feel distinct, pushing boundaries in the genre.
