Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Jérôme VA masterpiece. A must-see for Japanese ghost story fans. A superb drama that bears repeat viewings.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul DAllthough it is a brand new movie it breathes the atmosphere of an early Kurosawa. Beautiful pictures show Japanese society before the wars and understanding this does take some effort but it worth it, I think.
User Review - 6/10 by Mandy CYes, I saw the review about this movie in a magazine. It looks quite interesting as it is one of those horror olden folktales during the Edo era in Japan. I must say the setting and the cinematography was cool and beautiful. I must say it really is a ?beautiful? movie. But of course, there are a few scene which is quite disturbing, especially the ending scene. Some might find it a little boring, but I think it is quite okay? but towards the ending? it seems a little strange and doesn?t make sense. Yup, after watching the movie? one might practically wonder? how does the curse actually work in this movie. I gotta thank Ayumi Hamasaki? cause if she doesn?t sing the theme song? I guess I would have given this show a miss.
User Review - 6/10 by Joe AThe plot and the story is ok. The show is not boring. Do not expect this as a horror show. It is not scary at all. There is ghost but the ghost is more on getting revenge.
User Review - 6/10 by John MA Japanese folk tale, much of it too inscrutable to frighten this westerner, but still atmospheric and watchable.
User Review - 6/10 by Annie CNice traditional Japanese tale, more romantic than scary. Consistent art direction throughout the movie but nothing particularly thought-provoking.
User Review - 6/10 by Jennie RFrom a drama movie standpoint, this was a good movie. The story was interesting and moved at a steady pace but this was listed as a horror movie and was billed as being from the same people who did "Ringu". With that being said, there is a totally different expectation one has for this film. It does not evoke fear or the need to turn a light on. It does have a little creepy flair to it but for the most part, this is just a dramatic love lost story. This would be a great break-up/revenge type movie!
User Review - 6/10 by angela c3 - Director Hideo Nakata (of Ringu fame) pays homage to classic Japanese horror in the vein of Yokaido no Kaida, Kwaidan, etc. This film is a clear departure from the style established in Ringu, although a few of the scenes do bring it to mind (i.e. flies coming out a baby's mouth). A young man living in the Edo period is cursed due to neglecting an older woman whom he partners with. The curse follows him, killing all the women in his life. Interesting premise in a great period setting, but very steadily paced, so much so the film begins to lose steam towards it's second half, before making partial ammends at the end. Kikunosuke Onoe's performance seems flat. A more expressive leading actor could have helped this a bit more. Still, well worth a look.
User Review - 4/10 by Eng Gbad horror movie..typical cursed and ghost jealousy stuff..not scary at all, well I didn't find it scary :P The Ring was much better.
User Review - 4/10 by Jose Mi gave this movie the benefit of the doubt simply because it is japanese and it has a relatively eminent director... but i really have to say it is a disappointment of sorts. it's good for a few shocks and well built-up tension, but there wasn't much depth in it. the ring is provocative, original, and plain scary without being cheap. Kaidan is elegant, smooth, and beautifully performed... but it impressed me as having no distinctive soul.
