Viewing Notes

I think it was Adam that alerted me to the trailer for this and convinced me to hunt down the import DVD, which I did so I could loan it to everyone in the office.

Pretty good ghost story J-horror flick that draws from the atmosphere more than the ghost boy. But it works quite nicely in building the suspense.
