  So bad, it's great
  
  The acting is no good, the premise is weak, but it's worth watching. A possessed hair piece? What is not to like there?

  The Wig
  
  Better than We thought it would be. Not as good as some of the other Japanese horror films but worth a watch if you like that sort of Horror Film.

  The Wig
  
  This was a waste of time hiring because it was all in a foreign language and I could not understand a word of it. The plot seemed good though.
