Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among fans of a good haunting and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version, this one's for you. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Fans of The Haunting or The Shining should feel right at home. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.
While celebrating with her friends in her new cheaply rented apartment on the thirteenth floor of a building, the young Sayaka unexpectedly jumps off the balcony committing suicide. Her mother goes insane and her older sister, Mariko, decides to investigate the mysterious death of her sister.
