- Terrible and boring!This film was really terrible. I am a fan of Asian horror films and so I took a chance on this one. It is really poor quality, shaky camera work and grainy. The plot is incredibly slow and dull and there are no spooky or scary bits. There is also a really poorly done love story which added nothing to the weak plot. This films suffers because they have assumed that they can simply film someone with long dark hair and acheive a scary film - well they can't!

- Nice. Just wish the cameraman would get a tripod. This entire film is shot with 'Wobbly-hand-cam' which I am NOT a fan of.
To be honest, it's more like 'Steady-hand-cam' and reasonably subtle, so rather than making me feel ill, it just kept reminding me of the presence of a cameraman. This slightly hindered my immersion into the film; it made me want to shout "Can you just keep STILL?!".
I thought this was especially odd as the rest of the visuals were, IMHO, bee-yootiful.
Although this fits the Horror genre because ... Read More

- SpookyThis is probably the closest I've seen to a traditional Japanese ghost story on DVD.
It delivers nice little tingles every time Soyori appears in her earlier ghostly scenes, but she becomes this tragic, desperate figure once her mother's magic works.
I love this to bits.
9/10 - if only for not really explaining how Soyori can break people's backs.

- A NICE AND DEEPLY MOVING GHOST STORY- I had been intrigued by Shikoku for a while. The plot sounded interesting and the movie featured Chiaki Kuriyama (Gogo Yubari in Kill Bill Vol. 1), so I finally decided to give it a chance. The summary on the back of the DVD case ("Hinako returns to her childhood home on the island of Shikoku after many years. She learns that her childhood friend Sayori has passed away and the Sayori's mother, a local priestess, has slowly gone insane with grief. When strange things begin to happen on the island, ...

- A sad and beautiful Japanese ghost storyI thought this movie was wonderful. The Japanese make the best horror films in the world, but many of those films, especially ghost stories such as Shikoku, operate on a different spiritual plane than Western horror. The fact that Shikoku is hyped as a product of the studio that produced the Ringu series will have many viewers expecting chills and frights that just aren't to be found here. When it comes to J-Horror, you can't expect the movie to conform to your expectations; instead, you have to ... Read More
