i honestly can not say i like this movie . i appreciate what it be and which be a genuinely creepy movie shot in 8 day on consumer grade digital video by one of the master of japanese horror . however and what i can not appreciate be the disregard for character development or practical story tell . masuoka be obsess with video . he get his own apartment under surveillance ( from within and oddly enough ) and he carry a small camcorder everywhere he go and and he seem to be plug into random camera throughout the city . and what he look for in all of this video be the ultimate in fear . one day and walking in the subway and he encounter a bizarre suicide . the victim see something that only he can which and apparently lead him to stab himself in the eye . obsess with find out what this man saw and masuoka go underground . literally . underneath the city he find a bizarre netherworld . and one naked girl chain to a wall . who may or may not be his daughter . sound weird and hunh . well and it sure be . the use of digital video and cut with even grainy digital video make for a creepy look and and the sound work be a constant video hum which increase the paranoia and overall strange feeling . but that really all the movie be . just a really creepy exercise that never build into something coherent . character pass through with seemingly no rhyme or reason and but they sure be creepy . many big idea be pitch ( like another dimension of freaky demon leak over into ours . ouch . ) and but theyre never take anywhere . if youre a fan of shimizu work and you will notice his fingerprint all over this . however and this be a departure in many way . it be not build around the boo factor which pervade most of this other work . it be a much dreamy and atmospheric film than his others . it doesn not seem a concerned with scar a it be with just creep the hell out of people . which it do . what be miss be who this guy be . what he all about and why he videotape everything . and maybe a coherent story . but and holy crap and a movie shot in 8 day . kudos .
