The movie has an interesting premise; how did Yuki die, and why couldn't any of her friends help her? Then,it all too quickly goes downhill from there. I didn't particularly enjoy the 3D, it felt cheesy, and generally worked against the feel of the movie. As for the plot itself, it seemed like there were good bones to the story. But the direction, and all of the twists and strange facts thrown at the viewer were confusing. The plot would move from past to present, multiple perspectives, flashbacks, replays, and I found myself becoming bored, and uninterested in what was happening. I can put aside my annoyances about a poor plot if the resolution at least answers my questions. But, I found the ending to be too vague, and unclear about what happened to who, and what was even the point of the hour and some I sat through watching this. I really enjoy Japanese horror, but this movie frustrated me greatly. Again, the first 10 minutes were interesting, after that, pointless.
