It's one of my favorite movies. Quentin Tarantino described it as the best movie he had seen. Some may say it is discusting and weird, and sad, but there lies beauty in all these : Asami's childhood traumas, her disturbing love for Ayomaya, the psycho-thriller scenes where the boundaries between reality and imagination fade, the harsh torture scenes and the sweet love scenes...it is simply one of the best vintage horror movies to me because there is more than just horror. There is love, beauty and sadness in it - @Tuesday, November 6, 2018 6:05 PM

I think this movie is just a little overrated, when regarding to the whole "disturbing / exploitation factor". I mean, don't get me wrong...its still a good movie. There are a lot of twisted and eerie scenes. The acting was good. Although, the film is really slow paced in some parts. And plus, at some point throughout the film, the plot seems to get very confusingly scattered in some way. - @Saturday, August 15, 2015 1:00 AM

I deeply understand you. Cause I also should've stopped the movie several times... I alone couldn't keep watching the movie in the dark room. At the scene in which the hero was tracing the heroine's mystery, I took a break time to take a breath. - @Sunday, April 28, 2013 12:59 PM

Nope. The man's wife died. After a few years he wants to begin dating again. His friends in the film business hold a mock audition for a woman to 'play the part' of the man's new wife and he happens to fall in love with the one who is a total psychopath! - @Tuesday, April 2, 2013 12:53 AM

I loved everything about the film except for her back story and motives. They were too simple, and not solid enough. That being said, I might have liked it better if her background was more mysterious, thus making the shallowness of her back story less striking. - @Saturday, January 19, 2013 7:24 AM
