jossej 1. This film has no Gore. If you are into that skip it. 2. I enjoy the understated nature of this film. Some argue that is a weak argument for poor writing. I disagree.3. I have seen so many horror films it is difficult to scare me. I watch these films to see the story unfold. So I can't speak to how scary it is. 4. I enjoyed the interaction between the actors especially the guy who shows up mid movie. His indifferent behavior and rudeness kind of reminded me of a manga character. In a good way.5. I thought the way the spirit was portrayed was both bizarre and strange and seemed realistic to me. If you actually met an evil spirit I mean really met one it could look like that. You don't know.6. I disliked the strange faces in the beginning they looked like stock image.7. I disliked that they never really explain Ed why the girls were taking on such a strange job. Maybe i missed it. Or maybe they were just broke needed the money and didn't ask.8. It left a number of unanswered questions at the end. I wasn't sure if that was a deliberate cliff hanger and there is to be a sequel or not but I wanted a more solid end. But based on my theories about the male character it could make sense.All in all I think you should watch it if you like found footage style films, don't need blood in your horror, and aren't annoyed with not full closure endings. I can't compare it to Noroi because that is a different movie on a different level. I also think his films get lower reviews because everyone compares it to Noroi and you shouldn't do that I mean that's like comparing two different kids.
soupisgoodfood That might be the worst movie i've ever seen. I'm not much of a "acting is so important" person, but yeah; the acting was so bad that even a 5 year old can do better, promise. The movie is about burnt matches taking over souls and stuff. I am a big fan of Asian extreme and horror movies. But that was none. The only thing that was extreme about this movie was the extreme awfulness. There were times when i screamed with fear, thats true. But only when i saw the IKEA coffee table. This movie has no irony or sarcasm either. I watched it from the beginning till the end (yeah my bf was sleeping and i found this). And my conclusion is; i had more fun math exams than this movie.
morrigan1982 I really love good J-horror movies. It gives a claustrophobic sense, like where ever you go whatever you do you surely can't escape. The world is so big but becomes so small at the same time. I love that they don't depend so much in special effects. But this is not the case.It is not a bad movie. It just leaves you indifferent. There are three actresses who take part in a reality – documentary exorcism. So there are cameras all around the house and you are seeing things as they really happen. I am getting really tired of the reality – "real" story type of movie! In overall as I said the movie isn't bad. It is perhaps one of the best of its kind. You will have fun watching it, it is really entertaining!
victoryismineblast Three young actresses are hired to help a documentarian film an exorcism at the house of a young girl and her mother. Cameras are set up everywhere as the supernatural events start to unfold.Numerous exorcists are brought in to help but the problem only seems to get worse as everyone is drawn into a nightmare of demons and curses.This Japanese found footage entry is a refreshing take on the sub-genre as some original elements are introduced that take a different direction from the Paranormal Activity franchise. There is a bit of humour injected into some of the characters which makes the experience a bit more enjoyable.Some of the effects are a bit hokey but others are original and creepy and atmospheric. There are enough twists and turns to keep the viewer's attention as the tension escalates.The three girls get a little annoying at times but do a passable job in their roles and some of the secondary characters really stand out.All in all an interesting and refreshing Cult movie from Japan.
