Synopsis: A teenage girl moves into a new flat with her family. Some strange events seem to happen in the neighbourg appartment.
Review: The movie is loosely inspired by the swedish Let the Right One In, which has already been remade in the USA. Well, actually it takes only a few elements of it, and adds some themes usually dear to Hideo Nakata. But the director of Ring is not what he used to be, and it seems to me that he is in some way annoyed of not having created and directed The 6th Sense. He tries to bring new ideas to the genre of Japanese ghosts movies but is not successful. Anyway, the worst in this movie is its veeeery sloooow rythm. The main character walks for minutes on the screen, moves veeeery slowly, never answers a question... It is absolutely annoying. Hopefully the verbose public of the BIFFF was here to keep us awake!
