Audience Member Adoravelmente assustador, pena que a introdução é longa, e a parte horripilante é deixada para os momentos finais... Aquele filme que é tranquilo, de boas, a gente só evita assistir de noite por precaução... Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Screw this movie, and the people who made it. SPOILERS ABOUND. I've been through a series of bad movies, and this one pisses me off the most. At first, you think it'll be good. The atmosphere seems nice, it starts off with an interrogation scene involving someone who looks mangled to hell. It doesn't take long for questions to start coming up, such as: why was the mention of the 'accident' in the very beginning there, if nothing was to come of it later? It didn't foreshadow anything, or lead to anything later. The friend could've easily just wanted go to Japan, and we wouldn't have learned about his brother. Secondly, the lady whom the boyfriend was clearly cheating with. They question the main narrator about her, "who is she?" All we get from it? "That's a good question." And then it's never mentioned again. Thirdly, did they really want us to be surprised by the twist? They did everything to convince us that it WAS the twist! Examples: the kid pops up randomly in two very different locations (accompanied by spooky sounds), says weird stuff, and is NEVER acknowledged by the rest of the cast. Of COURSE he was a friggin' ghost. So when it was 'revealed' you're left sitting there feeling like you were insulted to the nth degree, because the makers of the film thought you were so stupid that you wouldn't have figured it out if they didn't point it out to you. Japan has such a rich world of folklore and monsters, and yet they couldn't even pull off the monster design right, nor make it interesting or stand out from other stereotypical horror monsters. It appears, growls, extends its fingers creepily, and that's it. They made a big deal out of the temple, but I feel so disappointed. They could've made it so interesting, but it's like the makers thought all you need are murderous ghosts, and suddenly it's so scary. There's this very cool visual (told, not shown) of a guy holding his own eyeballs in his hands, and it leaves you thinking 'wow there must be something really screwed up at the temple!" There isn't. And that's the most disappointing thing of all. It's so odd to me that the movie is not even an hour and a half long, yet they chose to make most of it the main characters' journey to get to the temple. The actual scary stuff feels rushed. The build up to the temple would've been fine had the film been longer. Then there's this stupid drama involving maybe a love triangle and a secret, but they don't amount to anything or add anything substantial to the story. The ending is abrupt and unsatisfying, and the interrogation scenes seemed so important, yet could've well have been left out, and you wouldn't miss anything. This movie pisses me off at how poorly it handled everything, and how little it thinks of the audience's intelligence. I wish someone would rewrite the whole thing, because Japanese culture and lore is so rich and awesome, and someone needs to do it real justice. In the meantime, and I'll say it again: screw this movie! Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Up there with one of the worst films i have ever seen, i would honestly rather have my arse cheeks ironed than watch it again Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A man with a torn off face is being asked questions about what happened in an ancient temple. His friends are dead and he's been following around an imaginary japanese boy. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member When I think of all the stupid decisions that the characters make and all the ridiculous scenarios that they get themselves into, it leaves one with ZERO sympathy for any of the "victims" in this film! Combine that with a plot that builds up to a whole lot of NOTHING, and it's no surprise that this film has received such miserable reviews! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Started out with so much promise. Then it finished in a fit of cliched, confusing, garbage. Not very often I feel I need my time back after a movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
