Yeah i said it right i didn't like this movie, before i get called a troll or told i need to take off my "western blindfold", i'm just saying i didn't like it. DO NOT MISQUOTE ME, by no means am i saying it's a bad movie, just that i don't like it. It felt like a build up with no climax. It would have been great, had Something, and i don't care what, Something interesting occured. I don't care that the movie didn't explain itself, it adds to the tension, but it could have had a better ending. <- My two cents.

knowledge you get from books, and books don't have hearts, making them decitful and full of lies.

the ending was a bit of a let down.. and I didn't really like the movie either ( although I saw it in Japan with no subtitles and my Japanese is limited ) This movie wasn't scary, it was just completely CREEPY. It made me uncomfortable at it's creepiness.. which I guess accounts for something O_o

yes it's weird and creepy and the movie's really all about the visuals...and not really about story....but then it's therefore fair enough if anyone doesn't like it cos they wanted more of a story...and more of a meaning in that sense...and wanted it to be more fulfilling in that way....and hey....you coulda had visuals as well as a bit of a better story flow...

it's not that great...there are better asian horrors for sure

I am actually quite disappointed after seeing the movie. I've read the comic years ago and I really love this story and his comic. There's lot more scenes which make the climax of the story. The movie simply can't make out a bit from the comic itself. But it wasn't a TOO BAD movie though,to me.

Saaaaaame here.
Everyone I've asked said they thought it was incredibly creepy, but I was just plain bored throughout the entire thing.
And my friend who watched it with me had her jaw dropped the entire time, and she kept asking me, "Doesn't this bother you?!"
No...
Not at all.
It was very well made, I just wasn't into it.

Mh, I really liked it. And yep, it seems to be all surface and almost no substance. I found it creepy, but the visuals was what really intrigued me. So many strange ideas like the tilted camera or the "forward-backward-forward-backward" shot in the gym. All in all it was like a ride at an old, spooky funfair hehe
