Critics Consensus

You just might Shutter in fear with this new-fangled Japanese horror film, but its approach is all too formulaic to leave a lasting impression.

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

Competently handled, decently acted and contains a couple of twists in the final reel that may give you a jolt.

Tim Robey

Daily Telegraph (UK)

This reasonable Thai horror flick can't decide when and how its disgruntled wraith - female, as usual - is allowed to manifest herself.

There's some scare-voltage here, and some cliches.

Rated: 2/5

Decently creepy, a continuously unfolding premise that draws you in, and the best horror movie ending I've ever seen.

Você já viu esse filme. Mesmo que não tenha visto. O clima até tenta te envolver, mas o susto chega antes do silêncio. O diretor parece ter gritado “BÚ!” no teu ouvido só porque podia, não porque devia. Os personagens? Se fossem mais genéricos, vinham em embalagem de mercado. A trama tenta parecer profunda, mas escorrega no clichê como criança em parquinho molhado. 💬 Frase do filme que poderia resumir a experiência: "Tem algo nos seguindo..." Sim, é o arrependimento de ter dado play. 🔚 Veredito Final: 💀 Morreu no susto — Se o terror é uma ceia, esse aqui serviu pão amanhecido com ketchup.

Honestly, really good. I didn't think it would be this scary, and it has some pretty good jump scares. I was kinda hard to understand because there were captions in English because I think it was another language, (some Asian one I'm pretty sure?) But it is overall worth it. :)

In a horror, thriller, mystery, its all about the payoff. The setup was slow and detailed for characters, middle was on point and the end... was simply a treat

Holds up together pretty well in my opinion. Great story, acting and jump scares but nothing too extraordinary.
