User Reviews
“I went in expecting a straightforward horror, but this is more of a character-driven thriller. The tense friendship between Misa and Izumi kept me on edge. The atmospheric Japanese setting and the slow build really worked for me.”
“It's a solid psychological flick, but not as scary as I hoped. The acting is strong, especially the lead, but the pacing dragged in the middle. The ending was satisfying though, worth a watch for genre fans.”
“I appreciate the attempt at subtle horror, but it didn't quite land for me. The 'scares' are more unsettling than terrifying. If you're into real horror, this might feel too slow. Still, the mood and sound design are nice.”
“I loved how this movie creeped under my skin. The psychological tension between the girls is palpable, and the climax is nerve-wracking. It's not your typical horror, but the eerie vibe and the performance of the lead actress make it a gem.”
