 
A
schoolteacher named Shunsuke Yanagi
(Yureki Yanagi) pays a visit to his
student named Toshio (Ryôta Koyama)at
his home as he's been absent from school
but he discovers that he is the only one
at home and his home has been uncleaned.
He finds out that Toshio isn't who he
thinks he is anymore as his father
apparently has killed his mother and
Toshio himself as they seem to haunt
their home and kill the neighbors living
near their house in the most gruesome
ways as they hear deadly cat sounds
before their deaths.
The police can't understand why so many
people are disappearing as even the
neighbors end up disappearing.
A confusing
Japanese flick which almost seemed
entertaining but it was just frusterating
to understand.
There are nice haunting scenes but when
the movie tries so hard to be scary it's
more downright funny as it was that corny
although it was meant to be a serious
horror film.
Later on The Grudge saw
the light of day.
The acting is hard
to understand as it's in Japanese but the
cast seems to perform fairly decently.
The actor that represents himself very
clearly and well is the leading guy Yureki
Yanagi.
Child actor Ryôta Koyama also
performs pretty good too making his part
extremely mysterious.
A boy's jaw is
missing and he's bloodied
A ghostly corpse of a woman is bloodied
Takashi Shimizu
tries to make his work creepy but he
really fails to do so but there are some
odd moments that does look slightly
spooky like when he shows the boy
crawling up the stairs bloodied and his
jaw is missing or when he directs Takako
Fuji when she is
discovered as a bloodied ghost crawling
out of a room of the house.
There is a hilarious moment when a
harmless looking kitten comes running up
to a woman and she's in hysterics.
Gary Ashiya and Shiro
Sato delivers some
synthesizer/violin sounds suiting the
elements of the scenes in the film but
alot of the times the movie is silent
with no sound effects.
