A short and rather generic Japanese horror film. It's part of a franchise, but if you've seen a few of these films it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what's going on, and even then there's enough recap and exposition that you won't feel lost. It's not a very notable film, but there are some memorable moments.
The performances are pretty dim, the colorless cinematography is drab and the story is derivative. Some of the death scenes are quite fun though and because the film is pretty short, it never outstays its welcome. I'm not sure I'll remember much of it, but if you're shy of Japanese horror cinema, you could do worse.
