I've seen several live actions before and usually I'm not really impressed by them. This was one different. For a live action, it stays really faithful to the story and I think a sequel would be a great way to continue this as I ended the movie wanting to see more. I wish some physical particularities from the characters had been kept in the movie, but at the same time if that happened perhaps it would take away the realness of it all.
They did change many things but it still turn out to be pretty good compare to other live action movies so I'm preally happy to watch this I would like to get part 2 for sure.
I liked it, it vaguely reminded me of the excellent "Death Note", keeping the respective differences, both have a dark theme, with adolescent clothes, which I like a lot, stripped script, bloods and tentacles, adorable ... From the middle to the end, there was a drag unattractive, between the girl and her late father, but she recovers and the final bloodbath pays off...
While the general world is very similiar to the premise of the "vampire society living in our world" there are a few twists. The "Ghoul" society is a secret society that exists in our world, and eat humans.
However, we take the side of the Ghouls in this story against the human police organisaiton that hunts them down. The Ghouls themselves are split into sectors, and fight each other.
The world developed is an interesting one, and very Japanese. Acting is very good, as are the special effects. Overall, a pretty interesting film, really not pure horror or action film, but a touch of both. The confusion of the main character, who spends most of the film trying to come to grips with what he is, is a nice major plotline. In this film, its the Ghouls that seem to have the humanity, not the humans. If you like vampire cinema, Japanese movies, horror, or science fiction, you will definitely like this.

This was an alright movie, there were a few things I didnt understand not being a follower, except for the obvious. The action scenes were cool I just wish there were more, but still an okay if you're bored movie
