  Glad to see someone had the same initial reaction to that headline.

    I know it’s a cult classic, but I couldn’t get my head around the film, it didnt enjoy it at all. Perhaps it’s because I went in with the desire to see another J-horror in the vein of Ring or Ju-On or Dark Water etc.

    I’m going to treat myself to an Ito box set after Christmas and read the visual novels instead I think, give it another bash.

      Yeah, the film winds up coming off as campy or even outright silly as the weirdness cranks up. The manga is still incredibly weird, but manages to hold the creepy tone better. Probably mostly due to what you can get away with in drawings vs live action; the screen adaptation probably would have been better as anime.
