Japanese horror milestone

If there is much influence of this film, most people will not hesitate to think of it first when mentioning Japanese horror. The sensation it caused in the year of its premiere is enough to prove that it is still frequently used by major movies, TV series and variety shows to this day. Following the success of

this film, the director, the actors, the scene, the color temperature, etc. are all contributed to it. I still remember that when I first saw it, on a cloudy evening, the whole film was filled with depressing and eerie colors. The

classic scene at the end of the movie is good. I didn't know at first that I was really intimidated. The sense of despair and the horror of copying and spreading is also very different from the previous horror movies

. I would like to praise my favorite Nanako. She is the only Japanese actress who has a pitiful, strong and independent complex personality and can handle it just right. She

must definitely give 5 stars~

    Not scary at all. Looking at it again on May 9, 2021, I feel that many clues have not been explained clearly. All the superpowers are not as complete as the novel. Matsushima Nanako is beautiful.

    It is a classic work, some very simple life scenes, but it creates an extremely suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere. It was a breakthrough idea at that time.
