Dude, this film is about a mother and son getting it on, and plenty of it. Gross. I love the Grudge films and watch lots of Asian horror films. However, idk what the infatuation is with Oldboy and other trash like it, but hope I saved someone's time from watching this.
this is a slow burn horror. just to warn folks who dont like that style of horror but otherwise a well shot, well acted creepy and atmospheric horror! the whole family curse angle is very engaging and man did i sympathise with miki ( the woman who makes the paper) she really, i mean really gets dealt a bad hand in life and you will sympathise with her!! plus the other characters are solid and one in particular is a right scumbag. like i said a very solid japanese folk horror film! plus made in 2001! before that sub genre of asian folk horror became popular ( the wailing, the medium). big thumbs up
Possibly the best rural village cursed deities movie i've ever seen. . Disturbing & awesome scenery shots??
Excellent film! Worth a watch.
Looks beautiful. I was aware that curses and the resulting generational trauma play a huge part in Japanese folk horror. This was worth every 120 minutes. And I may rewatch it.
