Actors: Yôsuke Asari, Asami Mizukawa, Wakana Sakai

Synopsis: A young woman (Asari) discovers that a copy of herself (bilocation) came into existence. She will be introduced to a group of people having the same problem.
Review: For once a Japanese horror movie that doesn't deal with spirits and long-haired ghosts. Instead we get interested in this concept of an exact copy of yourself being born from your frustration, and your impossibility to make a choice between two paths in live.
The story around this concept is not revolutionary, but told well enough to keep the viewer focused for two hours, with the right amount of twists to please you but not look too far-fetched. Finally a well-balanced mix of Drama and Thriller, with a hint of Horror.
Rating: 6 /10
