Famous unpredictable director, Takashi Miike, truly enriched his film portfolio this year. Inspired by the classical Japanese ghost stories, Yotsuya kaidan, he filmed a novel story about a group of actors who, while rehearsing a theatre play, mirror their own stories in those of the classic play. This masterpiece has been compared to Miike's breakthrough movie, the bloody thriller titled Casting. And just like in the previous movie he prefers strong characters, their morality and the gradation of the conflicts between them, over the typical plots of the modern horrors. And that is why the finale is so impressive, because the world of the reality and theatre coalesce into a frightening nightmare. (Filmasia)

A brilliantly executed story that no artistic director would be ashamed of, plus it all in the stylization of Japanese theater that intertwines with reality unbelievably. Takashi Miike couldn't resist scenes that will be etched into your memory. One of them is truly dreadful, but that's what a horror should be like. And this one is like that. Harsh, dark, the kind that gets under your skin and gives you chills.
