Viewing Notes
I love when a movie comes out of nowhere and surprises you. In this case, I thought it was gonna be another “Ring” wannabe J-horror. But it does a few things I really enjoy: features a idol group and I’m a sucker for anything around idols and idol culture. It has a good premise about an abandon assisted living home with elder abuse that is haunted. It has a subplot about how these teenage girls are jealous of each other.
It’s not gonna work for everyone but I enjoyed and was impressed. I found it on Archive.org so I downloaded it. Not a great transfer. But when I looked it up afterwards I learned it’s on Amazon Prime! What the heck! I could’ve just watched a likely better PQ and sound version. Ah well. Maybe I’ll revisit.
