William K Although this movie offers some visually good settings, it does disappoint as a rather formulaic horror flic with hardly any genuine scares. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member quite difficult to understand without the knowledge of Japanese folklore. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Kuriyama is great, but it's a pretty slow ghost story. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I liked the setting and the quiet build up in the first half. There are a few scenes of the town viewed from above which were nice, and i was getting interested in the filmimg rather than the story. I wasn't really bothered if there wasn't much horror, things seemed to be slowly progressing....then the second half (horror bits) were quite dull. The girl never appears like on the dvd cover.....( i remember her from 'Battle Royale'), and the film lost it's charm. I would have been happy enough watching if this had continued as a drama about a lost friend....but i was disappointed by the end. It seems like it could have been a decent drama with a few things changed. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I went into this expecting a horror movie...got a love tragedy. Although the general feel and atmosphere are still well done...it gives you an unsettling feeling, especially the first time you watch it (at least for me). Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This is just a lifeless ghost tale about a drowned girl whose mother attempts to bring her back to life, which naturally leaves her as a murderous revenant rather than the sweet school-girl that she'd loved. Possibly worth a look for fans of Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo Yubari of Kill Bill fame), but she honestly doesn't have a ton of screen time, so you might just pass. For completists only.
