BEWARE! SERIAL VICTIM.
Hey guys this is an opening scene which was posted as an advertisement for a Japanese horror film called Tomie. The story is about a school girl/demon who comes back from the dead and provokes others to murder her in the most violent ways. I found this clip highly unusual because I have never heard of such a masochistic storyline before. I think it just begs people to watch this film no matter how disturbing it seems since it is about a serial victim instead of our traditional serial killer.

I wonder if this would be as appealing to its audience if the main character were a man.
