Day 27 - Movie Month

 Battle Royale (2000)
A long time before The Hunger Games came out, the novel, Battle Royale, was released. Following on from the novel came a manga and finally the film of the same name. It's basically the same premise as The Hunger Games, in that kids are sent to fight to the death, with one survivor. And believe me, it makes The Hunger Games look like Peppa Pig.
EDIT: I also loved the soundtrack for this film, it's a nice mix of classical and original pieces and the version of Air on it is the best I have ever heard.

 Here is the trailer.
