My friend Nicholas rented this based on the title alone, but we were not disappointed. It seems like it is going to be a standard slasher, but it sorta changes gears near the end. The title was rather more accurate than I'd hoped; I was looking forward to some robokilling actually in the disco Layla, but true to the title all the robokilling really was beneath it. Watch for the Keith Haring-esquire mural... of death! I'll admit I fell asleep and missed a few minutes near the end, but that's what I get for watching a movie at 2am after all that thanksgiving turkey.

P.S. Don't miss the great neon sign at the disco Layla, it's stainless steel and neon in Arabic and English (in Japan, of course).
