  Japanese horror film that - thanks to (Kiyoshi) Kurosawa's skilfully, subtly created atmosphere - breaks the mold, sidesteps jump-scares and takes it's ... read more »

  Lack of Pulse
  
  Lack of pulse equals death, which aptly describes this piece of twaddle.
  
  I resent the time I spent sitting watching this garbage.

  Dull and boring
  
  I expected better. The film is dull and boring. There is no climax and the plot is stupid.
