Viewing Notes

Programmed for the Akira Nakao tribute marathon celebrating his work after he passed away last month.

This is an okay murder mystery that probably could’ve been told in a less confusing manner to make it more intriguing. It’s not horror but certainly drums up some elements like the cat and the curse. By the end there are more questions than answers.
