"meh"
Ok, since it seems like the people writing the reviews are the same people marketing this dud I feel like I should weigh in (seriously...did these people even watch this movie? I am sure my comment will get downvoted to oblivion but its the truth). It has a lot of issues...terrible pacing, tone deaf music and highly god awful execution all around on the script and premise. It also loses a lot of points for flogging you over the head with "scares." Most horror movies ease into things to get you freaked out slowly, here they do a cannonball directly into the deep end and stay there with the throttle stuck at full speed resulting in something that is mostly goofy and completely predictable. It's not scary if it isn't a surprise...this movie has you expecting it 100% of the time so it fails pretty hard all around. It's a pretty whacky movie I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. If you want to see good j-horror I recommend the japanese version of "The Eye" as being at least somewhat decent.
Best Japanese Movie Ever!
This movie, by far, is absolutely my favorite Japanese horror movie ever! The movie had you on the edge of your seat the whole time. If you like foreign horror films I HIGHLY recommend this movie. Only if I had four thumbs, because they all would be up.
the only gem out of the after dark horrorfest
this was the first film i saw out of the after dark horrorfest and therefore had high hopes for the rest of the series (which was unfounded, i later found out, as the rest of the series is of questionable quality). i loved the atmospheric quality of this film. i am a huge fan of japanese horror, and shimizu did not disappoint with this entry into the genre. there were a few areas of the film that i found mildly confusing, but it wasn't distracting enough to make the movie any less enjoyable. this is most definitely worth watching.
