About
If you enjoy Japanese urban-legend horror with a masked, scissor-wielding spirit and a straightforward, fear-first premise, this should fit; Not for you if you avoid graphic menace or prefer subtle chills like Noroi.
Pros: creepy urban-legend setup; relentless stalker threat; simple, scary hook | Cons: grim violence; repetitive confrontations; little emotional warmth
