GREAT SUSPENSE FLICK, 22 July 2003
7/10
Author: headtrauma420 from austin, tx

This movie is SO MUCH FUN to watch! I think this movie is highly underrated. Although it is a little known picture here in our Hollywood (CRAP) dominated US of A, it is an excellent movie.

The plot may seem a little confusing at first, but just wait, I promise it all comes together quite nicely in the end. Miho Kanno's performance as the tortured Yuka Irie is very good. She almost doesn't look like the same person as the film progresses (and not just because of different make up).

This movie builds all the way to the end, and then when you think you're near the end...another twist. The story is original and unique. This is how suspense should be!

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended.
