      Somewhat all over the place, but still a good watch.

      This movie is about a haunted apartment building. While this is a decently common trope and typically pretty easy to make interesting, the plot was a bit all over the place.

      There are a number of elements to the plot that seem unnecessary, or perhaps just needed more time to flesh it out better. The plot was a bit all over the place at times and seemed to try to fit too much into that short of a time window.

      Some things were a bit over the top in a way that felt like they were crammed in just to attempt to make it a bit more creepy. While they did add more oddities and such, they felt out of place and unwarranted at times.

      There is a small twist at the end that you can't really see coming though.

      As for the acting, it was kind of a half and half situation...Some certainly shined more than others to say the least.

      Since it isn't that long of a movie, you can easily watch it without wasting much time. I've rewatched it a couple of times over the past few years. It isn't a perfect movie to say the least, but this certainly is a B-grade J-Horror, and sometimes that is what I want to watch. If you're into B J-horror, you'll probably like this.

      very well done

      first of all i would like to say this is the first film I've seen since REC that had me wishing i was'nt watching alone in the dark. just finished this and wow! very well done, i was glued to the screen. typical kind of set up girl and father move because the mother has just passed away, but apart from that i found everything to be quite original. The apartment block is quite creepy as are the other residents. There are no real special effects or blood but i think thats a good thing because the script is excellent and the atmosphere and surrounding's are so dark and depressing it's not needed, and the ending wow, wow, and wow! totally unexpected. overall not quite as good as ringu but not far off i would recommend to anyone who likes Japanese horror and people who don't. p.s first comment and just getting used to new computer so sorry about spelling and grammar.

      Scarry one.

      I started liking Japanese horrors from 'the grudge'.. I have seen the ring in the English version but still like to see the original 'ringu'. Since the language is Japanese you have to follow the story by the subtitles. But that did not deviate me much.

      In those good Japanese horror lists this haunted apartment can surely be added. It is not as horrific as Grudge. But different. No great special effects, no cheap tricks to jump you out of the seat. But certainly the story does as it unfolds into the apartments.

      One teen girl Aimi, and her father move in to an apartment after the girl's mother was dead in a car accident. The apartment complex they moved in is the haunted one by a girl's ghost who died of the same age. And the curse that surrounds the apartment and the mystery behind it. The script is the best thing that makes the movie stand. Acting, photography, music and direction are all supporting the script and brought to a good level.

      There are no unnecessary gore into the scenes. But the script is good and thrilling until the end. Even the music is played not to scare but to aid the story. The ending was an unexpected shock which I could not guess it at all. If you are a fan of horror stories and is OK with not much of gory effects then you'll definitely like it.
