This was a great movie! Very interesting and intriguing, but i must say this was not your everyday hack and slash horror film. There is almost no blood and i was never really flat-out scared, but this is the kind of movie that comes creeping up at you. In the end of the movie you don't know whats what and you feel really uncomfortable. I would definitely recommend it. However the english subtitles were quite bad so i would not recommend it unless you have some basic japanese understanding. There are quite alot of philosophical points in this movie which never really gets through with just the subtitles since they are so bad. So a 5/5 for story and movie realization and a weak 1/5 for the subtitles. End grade 4/5.
