User Reviews
Masterful use of editing, sound, pacing, and cinematography to create both suspense and melancholy. Epitomizes "atmosphere over scares."
Classic Japanese style horror, no predictable jump scares here. Artistic horror only.
Classic Japanese horror tropes done well.If you can watch this when it’s raining it is the perfect atmosphere.The ending wasn’t my favorite
Slow but interesting. Not the most original, but it sets a very dark mood. Perfect on a rainy day.
Great horror movie. A classic in my opinion.
Story was interesting, left me with questions, but also left me wanting more :/
Some actions of the characters were frustrating but overall it was an okay watch. Wouldn’t watch again
Very predictable, like it’s so spelt out it’s comical. Has a great atmosphere and is pretty tense at points
Unmemorable horror movie. The only thing that stays with you is that you didn't like it.
Nothing too spectacular but a decent psychological horror film. Not sure what the overarching theme is supposed to be though.
