L² Comment:

Kinda love the storyline, especially the part which they used the 7 holy saint to represent the 7 ladies and how they were killed in the movie. A big twist at the end of the story is surprisingly good.

This is not the first time i watch this movie, but each time it brought me different kind of feeling and sense... hard to explain, but i love it :)
