original but lacks communication
Oh, goodness, what can I say? Like WTF?!? Love the concept (happiness vis-a-vis another's suffering), but too often what should've been outright scary came off instead as ridiculous and puzzling. I'm not someone who needs all the answers, but here I felt too much was kept at a slow-burn, atmospheric, let's-just-be-weird level. I wish the RULES of the world were explicitly given at some point. I do like some good J-Horror and am a fan of the manga artist, Junji Ito. And I could see this was going for an Ito-ish vibe. But wish instead they'd taken one of his stories (like Uzumaki) and turned it into a film. Would've been way more effective. Anyway, your mileage may vary and I could see some folks enjoying the sheer bizarro mood. Also, the total nonchalance of the family around crazy s**t is something to behold. Although I felt the girl's change at the end could've been done more credibly.
solid flick. not very scary, makes you think.
BAD ASS MOVIE!!
I really enjoyed it! It's original, strange, unsettling and well shot.
