A chilling portrait of supernatural retribution from beyond the grave - one that will give even jaded J-horror fans a few pleasant goosebumps.

...ultimately comes off as yet another hopelessly derivative and downright interminable Asian creeper...

Had quite big expectations of this film and although it was and enjoyable film, it doesn?t bring anything new to Asian Horror or the Horror genre in general. I also have the remake and it?ll be interesting to compare the two, once I have watched.

A swing and a miss! Completely derivative horse shit. Cool ending, though, and surprisingly solid performances. Too bad it isn't scary, relying heavily on audio cues (some of which are shockingly misused) and falling back on the old, now unscary Asian girl ghost crutch. Shutter is poorly lit and cheap-looking, further
