by all the fawn people have be do over miike and his work . i sit through this flick tonight . i figure and if it half as good a ringu and a i assume from these comment it might be and than it will be worth my time . no such luck . i be all for find the next great director ( or writer ) and but i do not think miike be the one . i do not have an nyu master of fine art and but i do know this much represent a horror movie have to have pacing . it also have to give the viewer more credulity than this movie do . this film pacing have me shake my head . some of the scene near the end drag so badly and i go to the fridge and linger there while kou shibasaki star at the camera for seemingly minute on end and eye wide and mouth agape . a famous director once make the claim and and i be paraphrase and a movie could be make by turn the camera on a beautiful woman and let it roll . kou be not a good enough actress to make that work . she star paralyze at the undead girl for more scene than i care to remember . and she isn not the only one do an impersonation of a deer in headlight while other cast member apparently feel the need to imitate this non performance . the script give them little room to do much else for far too much of the time . i like asian cinema . hong kong action flick from the last 30 year and korean horror like phone and koma and ang lee work and some of the trashy but fun filipino movie with gratuitous sex and fighting and as well a others . chakushin ari i could have do without .
