Missed opportunity with the wig for a big scare!


Ok, maybe it wouldn't have scared ME since I already thought going into the scene that they were going to do it . . .

But wouldn't it have been creepy if the scene had played out like this.

Megumi is placing the wigs on the rests, one by one - starts to hear the noise from the closet. Goes over to investigate - the wig falls on the floor. Then she picks it up, the camera follows her down. She picks it up, and puts it on the rest, and in the mirror we see the rest is actually the ghost's head! Cue loud music for big scare!

Something like that - I also thought they could have had her brushing the hair, then after a few shots of seeing only the rests in the mirror, we would tilt down to the one Megumi is brushing and suddenly see that it is the ghost's head!

I agree.

I totally agree. I was thinking the same thing as the TC, and when the hair just suddenly attacked her, I couldn't help but laugh at how pathetic it was.

This is starting to sound like a bad Freddy Kruegor movie.

I was thinking along these lines when the camera was panning across the wigs on the heads, while she was brushing them. They could have put the head in at this moment (without a noise and big scare) in build up to what actually happened.

You're right though, they missed a trick with this one.

YOu forgot one small observation. Even before the wig falls down, the camera pans on the wigs the second time. the hair on one wig(the one that falls) would have grown. Its hard to notice if your focus is on somthing else. That itself was pretty creepy.

I noticed that too
