good but very slow
Felt like it followed a standard storyline and doesn't meet the creepiness of the original. Not much new information on the backstory. I was hopeful going into this but it fell short in many areas.
love it!
A heartbreaking turn on the origin of Japan's favorite modern onryo. By the end, you may just understand what she felt.
Groundbreaking horror.
