Horrorfest Administrator Review
Lacking a bit in the story, but otherwise a very scary Japanese horror film.  A lot of jumpy parts that will get your heart racing.  The ending is quite a letdown after such an intense buildup.

A widower takes an offer to screen girls at a special audition, arranged for him by a friend to find him a new wife. The one he fancies is not who she appears to be after all.
Horrorfest Administrator Review
A creepy film mainly due to how “messed up” some of the content is. Certain aspects of the story are a bit confusing, leaving the audience to wonder what is real and what is not. All in all it is an unsettling story that will leave you disturbed by the stomach-turning finale.
