Lol. Here we go again, all the deep and meaningful movie explorers thinking they see things others don't. This appears to be a movie about suicide. And mostly boring at that. There are scenes set over a week with each one given a separate day.

Day one, someone takes some pills in a bath intercut with shots of a goldfish in a bowl and they kill themselves. Day two a guy hires a video tape about Nazis which he takes home and we see someone get their penis cut off with garden shears in it. The guys girlfriend then comes home nagging him about something so he shoots her in the head and puts a picture frame around the blood stain on the wall, he then hangs himself. Day three, a guy sits on a bench in the rain telling a girl about his relationship problems, she gives him a gun, he shoots himself. Then we see a decomposing body (looking like it's made from wax). Yawn.

Next there's some random scenes of a bridge for day four. Flashing up are names and occupations of those (I guess) that either jumped or fell from it, then it's back to Mr Waxy corpse again. Ooh, he's looking a bit smelly now with bubbly bits coming out. Still not very exciting though.

Day five (Friday) has an old woman snooping about an apartment block and finding a chain letter telling her she should kill herself, she's envious of a young couple she can see from her window. She goes to sleep and when she wakes up we see a shot of the couple dead and bloody in their bed. Then it's another clip of Mr rotty corpse.

Day six involves a girl reading some pseudo-philosophical rant about those killing with a gun, who then attaches a steadycam to herself and shoots a few folks at a rock gig, finally getting shot herself. Then back again to the corpse which has almost been reduced to a skeleton.

Day seven...a guy writhes about on a bed for no apparent reason and the film ends with a little girl drawing a skeleton labelled The Death King (the name of the film). But I can assure you my description of the film sounds much more interesting than it really is.
