    I didn't expect much of it, so I wasn't really that disappointed to begin with.
    I just couldn't get past that guys face! It's just begging for a punch in the nose!

    It's a Japanese Ghost story, which I'm a great fan of, but the style and the acting didn't quite catch the essence...( read more) or vibe of it. It didn't even come near the beautiful an genius Kwaidan by Masaki Kobayashi.

    Interesting Japanese ghost story that seems to wane at times. The setting was stunning and the costuming really gave the feel of ancient Japan but it just didn't seem to have the impact one might expect.

    A masterpiece. A must-see for Japanese ghost story fans. A superb drama that bears repeat viewings.

    Yes, I saw the review about this movie in a magazine. It looks quite interesting as it is one of those horror olden folktales during the Edo era in Japan. I must say the setting and the cinematography was cool and beautiful. I must say it really is a ?beautiful? movie. But of cou...( read more)rse, there are a few scene which is quite disturbing, especially the ending scene. Some might find it a little boring, but I think it is quite okay? but towards the ending? it seems a little strange and doesn?t make sense. Yup, after watching the movie? one might practically wonder? how does the curse actually work in this movie. I gotta thank Ayumi Hamasaki? cause if she doesn?t sing the theme song? I guess I would have given this show a miss.

    I think I have seen this film but need to confirm. Does it have loads of snakes at the end?
