If you loved Lesson of the Evil, try As the Gods Will
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Takashi Miike, and they both carry the raw, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lesson of the Evil, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What As the Gods Will is
Classroom. One autumn morning. A bouncing ball. Shun loathes the rote drone of school until a lethal game of Red Light, Green Light erupts. Students who fail get popped like grapes. Takashi Miike finds new ways to weaponize schoolyard whimsy.
