Journalist Asakawa starts investigating after her teenage niece Tomoko dies under mysterious circumstances. Rumor has it that there is a mysterious cursed video that kills anyone who watches it exactly one week after viewing. To learn more, the journalist watches the video and, with her ex-husband, tries to investigate. The problem arises when the woman's young son also watches the tape, and the two ex-lovers are left with no choice but to uncover the mystery to save him.

Yes, I know... I criticized this film too much, maybe because the corresponding American version is really awful, but then I asked myself, "is it really that bad?" So, taking advantage of a sick day, I watched it again: as a result, it now seems much nicer to me. Great tension, little suspense, but still, there is an intangible, abstract fear.

The lead actress (previously, I said she was too slow) plays her role really well. In conclusion, I would say it's a good little movie, even if watching it doesn't change your life.
