Japanese atmospheric horror done in documentary fashion.
A japanese reporter tries to solve paranormal mysteries, this time around he gets entangled with a legend of a higher degree. I love how this movie gives out sublime messages as the plot progresses, you are inside a slowly unfolding puzzle, a creepy one at that. The movie is presented as a documentary the reporter made with his cameraman. Various clues are knit together as the reporter interviews people connected to the subject. The actors and scenery are mostly what you could expect from everyday life in Japan, they really make that humane side of the movie. Sound effects aren't overused and add a magnificent touch, which is to be expected. Note that this movie shows nearly no violence, it's all about the atmosphere and it works like a charm. The movie doesn't reveal everything, so your imagination works as a delicious side dish. Disturbing peek at paranormality that may haunt you for a while.
I'll give this movie a surreal injection 9+/10
