This movie was recommended to me by a Japanese friend, who told me that the movie freaked her out upon her first viewing. After seeing the feature length movie myself (with the same friend), I have to say that although there are some creepy moments along the way, the movie doesn't entirely make a whole lot of sense. In particular, there is one scene where a father runs into his daughter when she's much older than the last time we saw her. My Japanese friend explained to me that he was dead at this point, but only moments later he falls to the bottom of the stairs after witnessing something horrifying, and 2 others are at the bottom of the stairs to help him with his ordeal. So was he alive or dead at this point? Who knows, but both of us (even my native Japanese friend) were scratching our heads after this scene. Overall it's not a great movie, but it's worth a look if you enjoy asian cinema and the horror genre in particular. Just don't expect too much.
