Critics Consensus

You just might Shutter in fear with this new-fangled Japanese horror film, but its approach is all too formulaic to leave a lasting impression.

Holds up together pretty well in my opinion. Great story, acting and jump scares but nothing too extraordinary.

Buena película, una cinta de terror con una historia genial con algunos giros geniales. Esta película me sorprendió bastante ya que no esperaba mucho y es realmente buena, tiene una historia que se nos presenta rápido y se encarga de ir revelándonos algunas cosas que nos mantienen enganchados a la trama. Sin embargo, creo que falla en el ritmo sobretodo, ya que a mi al menos no se me hizo del todo entretenida y los diversos giros que iba teniendo la trama me motivaba a seguir viéndola, ya que es una película bastante lenta. La película si logra asustar un poco mas que nada gracias al espíritu que va apareciendo algunas veces y te logra impactar, a pesar de que tiene los típicos jumpscares de una cinta de este genero. El maquillaje en el espíritu es excelente, esta muy bien hecho y aterroriza bastante su aspecto con solo verla. Por otro lado, las actuaciones son brillantes, principalmente las de Ananda Everingham, Natthaweeranuch Thongmee y Achita Sikamana. El final me pareció lo mejor de la película, tiene un giro muy bueno e inesperado que nos cambia toda la película y nos deja sorprendidos con lo que ocurrió. En conclusión, una buena película de terror que impacta mucho por el espíritu de la chica que esta muy bien hecho y por su genial final que nos sorprende bastante, además de tener otros giros a lo largo de la película que hacen que nos motive a seguir viendo. La recomiendo.

Creepy, nerve-wracking and rich in atmosphere. This underrated movie has easily one of the most horrifying twists in modern horror.

A very basic 90-00' techno-ghost story. Nothing very interesting very much cliche. Lots of jump scares. Only at the end does it really break away from the basic structure of these stories but even this seems unnecessary.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

It doesn't manage to be as scary as it can be, but it's even valid to give the audience a curious suspense with some interesting scares in between.
