Good Movie Gotta watch, 11 April 2007
Author: wtntam from France

Very original storyline. It's quite nicely written and imagined with sad moments and can scare you quite amazingly.

The movie is about a child's ghost and as we go along, we discover this little boy's story.

The acting is great and you can see good character development. The story also shows you how the main characters view death I really appreciated Yosuke Eguchi's part

The special effect is quite nice actually and good make up...

I think it's a great Asian movie with the cooperation of Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese actors
