soooo close


Having seen many Asian horror films, this one leaves me with mixed feelings. On one hand I thought it was better than most...certainly better than average; on the other hand I think it's a shame that it came so close to being outstanding. It certainly had the potential to become one of the best but a few critical shortcomings left its true potential just out of reach. Nonetheless, there's still enough good about it to make it worth seeing.

I agree. It's the kind of movie where they just don't know how to write the script well enough so have to quickly explain everything right near the end, and I hate when they do this. Miike did that with One Missed Call as well, in fact it seems to be a bad horror formula that many get caught in because to avoid it would demand a very intelligent script, or a much longer movie.
