atinder I have seen this movie few times but never in full before and now I seen the whole lot. There were some decent ghost scene but none of them were really that creepy.Until that doll/girl ghost, that scene was very creepy, if I saw that in real life , I would have pi""ed my pants (laugh Out Loud).That stuff belongs in nightmares, that is one my favourite horror scenes.I liked how the plot came to end , even though I knew when the story was leading.I going to give it a 9 out of 10

Tokyo-1997 This movie is one of my top five horror movies that I have seen. This movie is really unique and the huge twists at the end of this movie is just amazing, possibly one of the best twists any movie would have. The movie is slow paced at first but has its mystery elements. Towards the end of the movie, thats when all sorts of terrifying scenes starts occurring and I just could not stop watching. It was just so exciting and entertaining. The cameraman did a great job in this film. The acting of the main character was great. The storyline was original and unique. The last half of the film is exciting and really entertaining. This movie is very original though it does share some ideas with Bunshinsaba. Everything in this movie is clear. This movie is highly recommended for one who wants to watch a more unique film. After you watch this film you would probably hope that you did not do anything bad in your previous life. Ha Ha. Highly Recommended! Score:10/10

slayrrr666 "Reincarnation" is a severely engrossing but not entirely exciting entry.**SPOILERS**Returning from an audition, Nagisa Sugiura, (Yuka) learns from her agent Tadashi Murakawa, (Tetta Sugimoto) that she has landed a part in director Ikuo Matsumura, (Kippei Shiina) new film about a real-life murder case in Japan. Arriving on the set to start shooting, she begins to have strange feelings of deja-vu over the project, and eventually starts to think that she has actually experienced reincarnation over one of the guests in real life, the character she's actually playing in the movie. As the visions tell her a different story than the official version, she tries to keep her investigations from the crew while she carries on, eventually learning the truth about everything and tries to put an end to the strange goings-on before anything more dangerous can happen to her.The Good News: There was some good stuff in here when it really tried to. One of the best features is that there's an incredibly enjoyable story here that manages to get better and more entertaining as it goes on. The general concept of the murder-in-the-past is great and creepy on it's own, and when it changes it up there's a lot of fun to be had. There's a couple of great inventions to the story, from the fact that it infuses the film being shot on the tragedy with the events that really happened through flashbacks that are seen through the eyes of one of the actors on the film, and it's all incredibly enjoyable and exciting to see it play out in here. This has a lot of rather fun times to be had, especially when it gets later into the film and it blurs the line between what time it is happening in. The action that occurs, from the family being stalked through the hotel and the different ghosts that spring to life around the location and get in on the action themselves and it becomes all the better. Even some of the earlier scenes, such as the incident in the hallways where the ghosts manage to take over the film shoot and completely blackened them out which only one of the participants notices, the scenes with the young girl running around or the scenes of her in the flashback experiencing the action from the true story as though they're participants in the story is a lot of fun and definitely makes the film more enjoyable. That there's a series of outstanding ghost scenes also manages to provide a lot of great points in this one, making it feel even better. The confrontation in the library stacks are absolutely fantastic, as the setting is perfect for getting the isolation down, the ghostly faces appearing in the darkness provide some great scares and the resolution is perfect for this kind of story. Other good scenes include the fantastic moment in the beginning where she alone keeps feeling like ghosts are walking through the abandoned hotel behind her, and turns to look at each of the three levels merely moments too late to have her prediction come true, a ghost disappearing from view just a split-second before she can see them, and the long, single take is what makes it feel really creepy. The setting of the house is rather good as well, making sure to offer plenty of opportunities for creepy situations, real tension and a credible source for the action to follow and this one here does those in spades. The last plus in the film is the whole deal with the family in the flashbacks, which runs the gamut from creepy to sleazy to utterly freaky and disturbing, and make the film that much better.The Bad News: There wasn't a whole lot here that didn't work out. One of the only flaws was the fact that the film is just incredibly confusing, especially when it gets to the ending. There's hardly anything here that manages to make sense, from the way it keeps switching between being unable to understand what time-frame it is in, and neither that or the film makes any kind of statement over what's going on. It's impossible to know whether we're in the film version of the past or the actual events that happened, and it's made even worse when the film-crew tries to film the scenes through the reenaction basically being the same as the actual events, making it even more confusing as to what's happening. There's not much hope for it being explained throughout in here, making it just a never-ending series of scenes that don't make any sense at all. The other flaw in this one is the opening minutes of the film, which again don't make any sense at all, only this time as for why they're included. The characters aren't seen again and nothing is mentioned about the point they serve to the film, and all in all their inclusion is a little troubling, even though just on the surface they're fun in and of themselves. Otherwise, the confusing end is the film's only flaw.The Final Verdict: With a lot to really like about it and only a couple of minor flaws, this one manages to score very highly and comes off as really great. Highly recommended to those who have an interest in the Asian genre, if it sounds interesting or fan of the creative cast, otherwise heed caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, children in danger and Language

lastliberal Like a lot of psychological horror, you have to invest some time and energy in this film. It appears to be one thing, but you are not prepared for the changes, and certainly not the ending.I really expected that Nagisa (Yûka in her first film) was going one way, and then it went a completely different direction and the ending was most unexpected. It challenges you because Takashi Shimizu (Ju-on and The Grudge and sequels) has put together something different with characters and actions moving back and forth through filming and the actual location of horror, and you never really know where you are at any time.It is a heavy horror film that has less blood, but more challenge.
