User Reviews
OldSchoolScare – 7/10
“I was expecting a typical '60s ghost story, but this one really got under my skin. The atmosphere is thick, and the pond itself feels like a character. Not the scariest, but beautifully eerie and melancholic.”
MidnightEcho – 6/10
“The visuals and sound design create a genuinely unsettling mood, but the pacing is a bit slow for my taste. Still, the themes of guilt and obsession are compelling, and it's worth a watch for fans of classic Japanese horror.”
GoreHound90 – 5/10
“I didn't mind the lack of gore, but I was hoping for more scares. The story is solid but feels a bit drawn out. The ending was a little too ambiguous for me, but the creepy atmosphere kept me interested.”
QuietHorrorFan – 8/10
“A masterpiece of subtle horror. The sense of dread builds slowly and never lets go. I loved the way the pond is almost like a mirror into the characters' guilt. Highly recommended for those who appreciate atmosphere over jump scares.”
