Worth a watch, ending can be interpreted a few ways it seems but overall good story and some good spooks
3.5/5 - Really well-made movie with fantastic acting (wouldn't expect any less from Takashi Miike). The ending is genuinely unsettling (though not quite as disturbing as Audition), and I think it explores some really important themes. There were only a few moments of goofy early-2000s CGI. On purely technical grounds, this film probably deserves a full 4 skulls. But I was kind of annoyed by how similar this movie is to Ring (1998). It has a very similar race-against-the-clock techno-horror concept, and it even follows some of the same plot points (including a seismic twist in the middle). Regardless, if you like Ring, you'll like this one.
yes
stopped watching around 30 minutes in the first time and then came back for another try. definitely the right decision i predicted the twist but the way the ending handled it was just *chefs kiss*
Obviously much better than the American remake, and a great movie. There were a few points where I thought it was anticlimatic, but it picked back up at the end and I heavily enjoyed it.
