A subdued and understated horror film that takes a little to get going, but builds up the tension quite nicely. Light fantastical elements add a more mysterious vibe. The rest is handled by somewhat classier cinematography and a nice score. All that's missing are some truly chilling moments to make it stick. I guess you call this a Japanese take on the Spanish murder mystery/horror films that built up a decent reputation over the years. Not nearly as gruesome and with a slightly bigger focus on the supernatural, but the core mystery is very similar. I liked this one, though I do think a tiny bit more urgency would've made it better still. Read all
