JAPANESE HORROR IS ONE OF MY FAV PARTS OF THE HORROR GENRE. THEY DO HORROR COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THEN WHAT WE DO HERE I N THE STATES. NO SO SLASHER, BUT INSTEAD IT MAKES YOU THINK AND HAS A MESSSAGE.
IN THIS MOVIE A POOR BUSINESS MAN GETS THE THE IDEA OF STARTING A SIDE BUISNESS BY GIVING OUT LOANS WITH HIGH INTERESTS. HE MAKES A MISTAKE OF LOANING MONEY TO A SAMURAI. WHEN HE GOES TO COLLECT THE MONEY FROM HIM, THE SAMURAI BECOMES INSULTED AND VERY ANGRY, AND KILLS HIM. THE HENCHMEN DUMP THE BODY OF THE BUSINESS MAN IN A POOL THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY CURSED.
THE DAUGHTERS OF THE BUSINESSMAN SEARCHED AND SEARCHED FOR THEIR FATHER BUT THEY NEVER FIND HIM. OVER THE YEARS THE SAMURAI’S FAMILY IS FATED WITH CURSE AFTER CURSE. HE GOES CRAZY AND MUDERS HIS WIFE AND THEN COMMITS SUICIDE. THE SAMURAI’S SON IS SENT TO LIVE WITH HIS UNCLE.
YEARS LATER, ONE OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE BUSINESSNESMAN AND THE SON OF THE SAMURAI, NAMED SHINKINCHI MEET UNDER EERIE CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY FALL IN LOVE, EVEN THOUGH SHE IS OLDER AND HE YOUNG FLIRTATIOUS. SHE IS VERY JEALOUS AND ATTACKS HIM AND ACCUSES HIM OF CHEATING, AND ENDS UP GETTING INJURED IN THE PROCESS.. HE VOWS TO TAKE CARE OF HER, BUT ENDS UP CHEATING ON HER WHILE SHE IS ON HER DEATH BED. SHE TELLS HIM BEFORE SHE DIES THAT SHE WILL KILL ANY WIFE HE HAS BECAUSE OF HOW HE TREATED HER.
AS YOU CAN GUESS THE REST OF THE MOVIE IS ABOUT SHINKINCHI TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM HIS PAST AND WOMEN IN GENERAL, BUT IS UNSUCCESSFUL. HE ENDS UP KILLING HIS GIRLFRIEND BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SHE WAS THE SPIRIT OF THE DEAD WIFE. THIS MOVIE IS MORE OF A LOVE STORY GONE WRONG. THERE AREN’T MANY “SCARY” SCENES IN THE MOVIE, BUT MAYBE ONE OR TWO JUMPY SCENES. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A MOVIE SIMILAR TO THE RING, THEN THIS MOVIE ISN’T FOR YOU. HOWEVER I DO LIKE THE END. . LET’S JUST SAY THEY END UP TOGETHER FOR ALL ETERNITY! LOL ENJOY THIS MOVIE WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND AND REMIND HIM THAT YOU LOVE HIM, AND IF HE CHEATS ON YOU THAT WILL COME BACK AND KILL HIS FUTURE WIFE. I THINK IT’S A PERFECT MOVIE TO WATCH WITH THE BOYFRIEND FOR THAT ONE REASON. HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS MOVIE.
LOVE ALWAYS.
