    As you walk past the DVD corridor and see movies ranging from 300 to 1408, stop at 1303 right before you get to 2156.

    Director Ataru Oikawa (Tomie, Tomie Beginning) comes at you with a tagline "Some rentals are too good to be true" (in this case, ok) that shows there is still ...( read more)more scares left to offer from the Japanese cinema starring Noriko Nakagoshi (Orochi - a.k.a Blood) in another chilling ghost story.

    Synopsis: After Mariko (Noriko) discovers the death of her sister by suicide during her limited time in her new apartment, she attempts to uncover the probable cause of what might have truly happened. However, during her research, she comes to find a strange secret that lies within the apartment that had led to other suicide murders.

    It's a bit of a stretch, but what else can the filmmakers possibly do to keep fans interested in Japanese horror despite the typical young hero, creepy looking adolescent and the long black haired franchise.

    Ataru Oikawa keeps it alive with some innovative scares that may keep an audience going without using much of the already low-budget. In fact, if there were some currency being thrown into it, it would have to be in the final moments of the film that fails to match the unique frightening scenes.

    Noriko Nakagoshi didn't look to be trying too hard to bring to life a character that takes time before she breaks, but her talents seem to match well for the most part.

    I do not understand this ridiculous fascination with Japanese horror movies. They are not scary and they are all the same.

    Fraco e trash. Péssimos atores e suas respectivas atuações.
