A mildly intriguing, if slight, entertainment.

One Japanese movie we probably won't be seeing remade in English anytime soon.

tweaks the genre and the audience's expectations, subtly changing from a quietly effective horror film into a slick satire on modern life. And that is no less scary

Koji Yakusho delivers a wonderfully droll dual performance, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa uses split-screen effects brilliantly.

Horror film about a person who finds his doppelgänger. Very disturbing ending.

Kiyoshis worst film to date by far. a fantastic director sinks into the mainstream with this disaster of a mystery featuring numerous casual clinches.

Interessante l'inizio e ben ritmato il finale, però nel resto della durata si trascina senza troppo entusiasmo.

Starts off incredibly slow. The double and tri shots are nice. The whole film has a sleepy, lethargic feel to it. It picks up the last half hour, but even the bludgeonings are calm, matter of fact affairs with no flair. Strange ending.

Interesting, yet unsatisfying. I loved Koji Yakusho! Funny and demented...
