Plot: Kiyoshi Kurosawa has built a strong reputation in Japan as a horror auteur due to the popularity and acclaim that has been bestowed upon his films CURE and DOPPELGANGER.

 A good horror film with some decent creepy scenes. It does run a little slow and turns into somewhat of a drama later on, but it's worth a watch at least once. 7/10-- (UHM)
