Review:
This one is actually one of the most interesting and easy to follow of the Asian horror plotlines. This is clearly a horror film for it's shock ending but the movie is mainly bloodless, in fact it's more of a drama for the longest time, but fortunately an atmospheric non-boring drama. The plot is simple, a Man decides to audition girls for a new part in a non-existent play so he can meet his perfect woman, but he learns that there may be more to his chosen actress than he had suspected. Out of respect for the film I refuse to divulge any more info, but it's highly entertaining, and truly worth tracking down. You just need a little patience, and well in case you haven't heard it is most definitely worth watching until the end. Still considering it's reputation for being extremely disturbing I didn't think it quite lived up to that, but shocking I'll give it!
