I don’t like slow movies but this is an exception. The slow pace made it creepier and the ending was masterful.

Miike is known for his shocking, and unflinching depictions of violence. This film is a slow burn, that culminates in a shocking finale.

What can I say. THE staple of asian horror films. It starts slow and more as a drama, but pays off in the end.
