I actually suprised myself with how much I enjoyed and liked this film. At first I wasn't that impressed as all the pieces of footage seemed random but as all the threads started to come together and we started to learn about Kagutaba I began to really get into it.

Terrifying. One of the scariest movies I have ever seen in m life. It made me hide the covors over my head. It doesnt use loud noises or pop-out killers to scre you. It uses the atmosphere which is the most scariest atmosphere I have experienced in a film in long long time. Wath... read more
