   Highly disagree with the previous commenter. This movie was, in my opinion, an utterly brilliant thriller/psychological horror movie. The name is definitely fitting; Teruyuki Kagawa was absolutely astonishing in his performance, he really was incredibly, well, creepy, unsettling.
   
   Kiyoshi Kurosawa has once again proved to be one of the most inventive directors around.
   
   

   ...and my god, that fucking smile even as he lay there dead... I think I'll stay away from the neighbours for a while.

   A detective, when confronted with someone nervously revealing something to them, turns around to his wife and flat out says "well that was weird"
   
   That was the exact point the story lost all credibility. Everyone in the film is so completely naive that you start to hate the characters that the first half had worked to build up.
   
   I dont agree with the other comments comparing this to the Cure, characters were not making decisions because the killer was "charismatic", the underlying message there made sense. I was honestly at awe how the slimey antagonist could convince any one to do anything or how he could be seen as comforting... 1 year 6 months ago

   Good setup and fairly interesting first half.
   Unfortunately... turns out very flat and unconvincing.
   Kiyoshi should drop making suspense and horror films (he is simply not very good at it) and generally keep his films around 90 minutes. What is with 2+ hours long films anyway... they are rarely justified. 2 years 1 month ago
