About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, slow-burn Japanese ghost story that blends tragic romance with a lingering curse, closer in spirit to Retribution than jump-scare horror; Not for you if you want fast pacing or constant shocks.
Pros: eerie period atmosphere; strong emotional weight; slow-building dread | Cons: very slow first half; messy, overstuffed plot; not many big scares
