I had this thought as well. I found it pretty amazing that it managed to make it across the Pacific with nobody on board. Or maybe there was somebody on board... this has the makings of a gory/sexy Japanese movie.

On a related note, my BMAJW complained that the only Japanese movies that make it to Netflix are weird, gory, or soft porn.
