From half of the two directional wizards behind 'The Eye' comes this half-finished piece of 'cinema'. The plot is intriguing, starting off well and progressing slowly as if leading up to a wonderous and haunting conclusion. The first two thirds of the film echo of Asian horror films such as Ringu, The Eye and Audition, but they're eclipsed by an ultimately ridiculous, Troma-esquire conclusion. The last part of the film lets it down; turning a suspenseful and disturbing story about morbid fascination into some poor attempt at ridiculously boring Hollywood horror/thrillers in the vein of Saw and Seven. The film never feels like anything beyond two half finished ideas stuck together without any form of cohesion.
