    More romantic than horrific, there's very little to see here if you're looking for a good ghost story. The sets, however, are very nicely done, and the story is a good one if you can let go of the fact that you're not watching a real horror film.

    I found this film really boreing. The production quality seems very low as well.

    Interesting, quiet, and creepy Japanese horror/drama. Not outright scary, but atmospheric and intriguing. Nice use of locations, too. Worth a look if you something different from "The Grudge" or "The Ring".

    Good ghost story, a little similar to Ringu in style.

    Quite a poor movie to say the least..... Certainly not worth the time to watch it.

    I bought this movie from Hastings a few weeks ago. I have to say, for the background information being so vague, I loved this movie. It was a little weird though, but I still loved it.
