One of the most apathetic movies I've seen in years.
Although apparently a minority opinion, I found this film exceedingly boring and disappointing. Basically there was no plot, more of a scenario that gets played out over and over again with no change, development or sense of forward motion. Some good aesthetics but that (IMHO) isn't enough to carry a movie. It is vague enough that you can read pretty much whatever you want into it, but you'll have to invest a lot of your own energies to do this b/c the film doesn't give you much of substance to work with. Recently saw "Pulse" also, written and directed (I believe) by the same person. I found it very similar in tone, slow, vague, pieces not connecting, with some bad acting thrown in for good measure.

Intelligent Psychological Thiller
Kurosawa has mastered the art of creating inherently disturbing images. From the opening scene to the end credits, every image and sound presented, impeccably timed, has been carefully calculated and sculpted to present the viewer with the devastating horror of the unknowable. Echos of Jungian psychology abound, this film achieves a level of intelligent discourse almost unheard of in the genre. If you are looking for cheap, wanton slaughter, then this film is definitely not for you. But if you are looking for a haunting, well conceived and executed film on the level of Vertigo, then this film is definitely a must.

Horrible
I got this movie because of all the good reviews it received, and it's suppose to be an Asian horror film, or so it's categorized under. After watching it I was thoroughly disappointed. The movie didn't make much sense at all. There were random dead monkeys around, and the ending was even more confusing. I've seen my share of weird Asian horror films, but this was just lame. There was no resolve or much less a real plot to think over.
