Notes et avis

This film is good but a few moments I had to turn away from watching because it was a bit disturbing. Probably more scarier than some horror films...

Continuing in the great history of Japanese cinema this movie has the emotional depth of a Kurosawa classic. It is a contemporary masterpiece.

Awesome movie
