ok and let me start off by say this isn not a horrible movie by any mean . it just not good . i recall one poster say the act isn not campy it just nuanced . no . i have see nuanced japanese and asian acting . i be sorry and youre wrong . this be camp . the character be totally unsympathetic and the death be totally random and utterly meaningless . the writing be bad . i be fine with suspend disbelief and i be fine with not have everything hand to me in term of plot . but this movie have no plot . one reviewer state this movie be set in a small town where people be go nut over vortex and spiral . that not a blurb and that the entire freaking film . congratulation and i have just save you nearly an hour and a half . there be nothing more to it . no character development and no plot development and no explanation and no resolution . and not even the acceptable within the realm of j horror lack of resolution . just nothing . in addition and the musical score be do by someone who obviously wasn not actually watch the movie at the time because it random enough to cause whiplash . cognitive dissonance be one thing and do well it can be brilliant ( see dark water ) and but here it just seem a if the score be design to go with another movie all together . the best example i can give be it a if the japanese remade evil dead without any of the clever bit or good acting . it just fall flat . it j horror without the horror .
