  Wasn't really expecting this film to be much, and in some ways it wasn't much, but it also surpassed what I would've expected going into it. Admittedly, however, time has not been kind to this film as I'm sure I would've enjoyed this movie closer to when it was released than I would through 2014 eyes. I thought the story, while nonsensical, actually had a rhyme and a reason. Things simply don't happen for a reason here. Yes, the storytelling itself might be dull and slow, but at least what happens happens for a reason. I think that, on top of some cool atmospheric moments. I wouldn't even call them scares, I think the Japanese are better at creepy moments as opposed to out and out scares. Not saying this film has some genuinely creepy moments, but some of these are fairly decent and well-executed. I'm not even sure why I've given it the rating I did, because it's fairly average horror movie. It's not gonna reinvent the wheel, nor is it gonna leave you shitting your pants for weeks, but it's got about the same number of positives as it does negatives. I bumped this up from 2 to 2.5 stars. It's not really much, and it doesn't make that big of a difference quality-wise, but I think this movie is better than it probably came across at first glance. This is definitely a movie that will require a bit of patience, but even then, it's not like it's that rewarding or rich of an experience that you'll want to recommend this to all of your friends. It's something that you'll watch and easily forget about it by the next day. Not much else to say than that really, this is an average horror film.

  No perfect...but one of the best that I've seen from the "Films To DIe For" series.

  Technically an occult piece due to it's metaphysical/paranormal theme, <I>Reincarnation</I> is a well-executed atmospheric mystery about -well, reincarnation. Two actresses and a friend unknowingly share a macabre bond that originates in a ghastly mass murder at a spooky old hotel. One of the girls doubts the phenomenon of life-after-life, one knows she is reincarnated, and the third is catching on quickly as she stars in a picture about the murders filmed on location. In re-enacting the grisly events, the actress unwittingly channels the spirits of the victims who proceed to possess the cast and create a living nightmare for the star. <I>Reincarnation</I> is a welcome departure from bad Hollywood horror flicks that consist of beat-to-death plots re-hashed with annoying characters, predictable gimmicks and stock contrivances. It is a dark and pensive film and it presents a solid variation on the plots of movies such as <I>Salvage, Dark Corners, Dead Again</I>. and <I>Lieibestraum</I>. While a number of these relatively recent Japanese horror films are nicely photographed, skillfully crafted, and well thought-out with cerebral plots, they tend to lack a certain zest. They are so well made that it is challenging to analyze why they very slightly miss the mark. Pictures such as <I>Reincarnation</I> are slow, yet not because they contain filler or are poorly paced. Oddly, despite containing clever, frightening plot elements, they tend to be very creepy without being scary. <I>Reincarnation</I> would have worked better as a shorter story in a trilogy such as <I>3 Extremes</I>. While such movies are sinister, they lack the thrills that the cheap Hollywood equivalents deliver. Despite this, Japanese "horror" films like <I>Reincarnation</I> provide a thoughtful respite from predictable yarns along the lines of <I>I Saw What You Did Last Summer</I>.
