    good movie

    At first i want to say i love Airi Suzuki she is so beautiful, talent and had a beautiful soul also her songs are amazing. when i know she made horror movie with buono members i was curious to see it. the film is based on novel send on internet that buono feel they want to be part of it by making his movie. it talk about student who get abused from her family and friends so she begin to write cursed note that make everyone read it get cursed and die yes similar to death note but its was interesting idea. the movie was like a indie movie or Documentary film that due to low-budget but it wasn't a bad and wasn't great either but it sucess to make feel unwell and get under ur skin. the acting was great i didn't know that buono are also talent at acting. so it was a good horror movie u should watch it.

    Outstanding Film

    So often nowadays, watching a movie at home competes with other activities. My sister usually will be on the internet and listens to a movie. I will sometimes read in or out or play video games while watching. With "Gomennasai," I was totally glued to the screen. Although the first assumption may be that I have to watch the screen because then I can read the subtitles, I actually speak Japanese so I didn't have to do that.

    This movie presents a plot that revolves around the power of words to kill. Recently, I had the pleasure of watching the movie "Pontypool," which showed the power that words had to change people into zombie like creatures. In "Gomennasai," no such thing happens. But the words of a certain school girl have the power to curse and to kill.

    Kurohane is a very unpopular girl, likely due to her dark and somewhat morbid appearance. Completely rejected by her family, she is also hated by her schoolmates. In a way to antagonize her, the girls in the school decide to torment her by having her write a script for a school production. Kurohane is actually very open to do this because it allows her to experiment with the power of words to kill people.

    "Gomennasai" is definitely a movie that has to be right for you in order to enjoy it. The budget was obviously very small and it is a very short movie. However, it thrives on the strength of the screenplay and the actors in the movie. I had no idea where this movie was taking me as I watched it, but it turned out to be a place I was happy to go. Very seldomly does a movie exhibit any originality in today's age. But this film does. It has an ending that ties things together in a way you likely will not see coming. An excellent film that should be enjoyed.

    Interesting story

    I come for this movie because of Buono! This movie seemed ordinary... that was my first impression. I found it different after I watched it. This is pretty entertaining Japanese movie, especially in storyline. It can be little compared with clever problem-solving movie such as Deathnote (2006). Based on comments in several forums, a lot of watchers find the ending quite shocking, although they know it is only a fiction. But, I have to admit that sound designing and camera shooting were not quite good as the film goes. In addition, some actions look less natural in some scenes. Despite the fact, this movie can be enjoyed from the beginning until the end.

    The poisoned pen is far mightier than the sword!

    A pretty popular student Yuka Hidaka (Airi Suzuki) and her fellow bullying companions desperately seek a way to protect themselves from a curse that victimised classmate Hinako Kurohane (Miyabi Natsuyaki) imbedded within the text of her school play. What commences as a routine 'ostracize the gifted outsider' narrative thrillingly takes a far more disturbing jaunt into the macabre when the solitary, unfairly beleaguered Kurohane unleashes her poisoned prose upon her abusers! Asato's low budget, enjoyably creepy high school J-Horror gem features girl band Buono! And enjoys a number of deliciously spooksome moments! It would certainly appear that wielded by the demonic digits of Kurohane the pen is far mightier than the sword! The performances are fine, the scares are fun, but the film's resounding star is the truly tragic figure of Ms. Kurohane, and the terribly melancholic revelations within her diary.

    Seen it before.

    Ring Of Curse contains elements from other movies, it pretty much just ripped a few stories, put them together and got an OK movie. It does feel disappointing tho, cause they didn't really try too much, but rather relaid on more successful stories instead so all they had to do was go fishing.

    Can't believe I'm saying this, but I am annoyed and a little mad, thus I think it is better if I don't recommend this little production right here. If you are not too familiar with the Asian Horror Cinema, Ring Of Curse might seem like a breath of fresh air, but if you are, you'll pick up the signs in no time.

    So without spoiling it too much, I don't wanna influence your decision in no way whatsoever, this movie will get a 5 from me. Right in the middle, I'll let others tell you more about it. As mentioned before, it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry to say so.

    Cheers!
