Being a Lovecraft fan I was hoping of finding a movie interpretation of his story Medusas's Coil.
While the movie starts great (some people mistake the personal game for a comical breaking of the 4-th wall), the mystery behind the hair is explained pretty quickly.
But... It ain't Lovecraft.
I would love to have seen some cosmic horror creep into the unlikeliest of places. But when you get over the fact, that people need explanations for EVERYTHING nowadays, you can start enjoying what is presented.
It's a great mix of multiple personal dramas and a non typical ghost vengeance story with great acting (even the over the top ones) and good production values.
If you like a tad more unconventional J-Horror, you'll feel right at home.
