    This is one of the best asian horror films I have ever seen. Its plot twists and turns rival the Sixth Sense. It is scary without having to resort to lots of blood and gore. If you like Juon, the Ring and other asian horror films, you can't go wrong with this one.

    The preview for this film happened to be on another film I was watching and it looked decent, so I added to my queue. Man, am I ever glad!! I really enjoyed it. It was a great film, with lots of scary moments. This is one of the better horror films, asian or otherwise, I have seen in a while. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good scare.

    This is one CREEPY movie. One of the better J-horror movies I've seen in a while. It's not gory, so if that's what you're looking for, rent something else. but if you want a good mystery with shiver-inducing scenes, check it out. The scene in the studio with darkness and camera flashes really freaked me out. Also, if you like this one, put A Tale of Two Sisters on your Q immediately.
