Who care about Sadako?This is STYLE! What more can one want from Nakata?
Hideo Nakata is more than a one-trick wonder.
Much more.
Kaidan showed us that the guy has style, and knows how, when, how much and where to use it.
And jimminy crickets, can he tell a story! I, and I'm sure many others, very much appreciate that he still sees no need to tell the audience how to feel and what to think - nor does he over saturate the film in plot indicators.
This film was everything I would expect from the matured, accomplished filmmaker that is Hideo Nakata.
