June 23, 2004First I was impressed by the sharpness of the production and direction. I didn't expect much from this until I read a Japanese review about J-Horror coming to America in NewType last year. The movie was sincere in scaring the nightlights out of you. If you have a tight knit relationship with everything Japanese culture, films, and anime, you will be impressed with the films story plot and flow. Outstanding. J-Horror is the craze right now. Off to play some Silent Hill games.
