shareYes. You should most definetely see this movie. It's one of the best Japanese thrillers I have ever seen, with a fantastic cast and it's just really great. Not a boring moment!

Not a boring moment? Are you kidding? That's the only reason I gave it a 7, it has boring moments spread all throughout the film. It never really picks up until the last scene, and even that is dull at parts.
You could re-cut this film and make it an hour, maybe even less, and still hold the same tension and character building.
The movie is over 2 hours long.
The whole point of the 'boring moments' (as you put it) was to add to the psychological tension of the movie. If you re-cut and made it less than an hour long, the whole point of the film would be lost.
shareI reiterate, You could re-cut this film and make it an hour, maybe even less, and still hold the same tension and character building.
shareAgree fully. The slow scenes weren't slow for a reason, like to expand character development or build a brooding pace or anything. They were slow simply because the writing was weak and the director/editor didn't know what they were doing.
As you said, it could be a 45-60 minute short film instead of almost 2 hours and still be the same thing. If anything it'd have more impact since it was straight to the point and didn't throw in a bunch of fluff scenes to pad the run time like it does now. Even the 'thrilling' ending show down was done amateurishly and had no suspense to it since everything was done so poorly...
"Did you mean for all those words to come out like that or did they just fall out randomly?"-H.H.
You have to think. It's a little slow and in some parts scary but it's good.

It has its moments but its poorly paced, predictable, and the ending is disappointingly anti-climactic. Don't expect anything genuine.
shareits slow and not very violent as the dvd cases exclaims. i thought it would be more like a slasher film
remember that time when you spit in my mouth when i was sleeping? well i was awake!!!
