I love the cinimatography in this one, the editing is great too really good stuff. I do think we get a few too many shots of the tall grass but that's minor. What really gets me is how torn I am on the story after watching it a couple times. On the one hand I love the simple story and the way it's executed but on the other hand I think there's so much potential for more in that one. Overall I can't fault the movie for what it wasn't and merely judge it for what it is which is a really good film. 7.5/10

I saw this too, a few months back, cos I bought it on the net on a whim. Yeah, lots of tall grass shots indeed.. and the sound of it rustling in the wind...

Did you get the Criterion edition? What did you think overall?

[sinistar]

Yup, Criterion versions are always the way to go if they're available.

Overall I thought it was a good movie, not exactly scary, but had some tense and suspenseful moments, like when the girl had to run as fast as she could to get to her bf's hut. The atmosphere of the movie was well thought out and executed. I don't know how many times I'd watch it again tho...

2LDK, the other movie in the Duel Project with Aragami. I really didn't expect to like 2LDK as much as Aragami but i was very surprised with this one. It starts out a little slow but soon the rivalry between these two actresses lead to an all out war with everything from swords to electric chainsaws! The final bit is great as well, really good film in my opinion. A lot of the shots seemed very "Raimi-esque" as well but maybe I'm the only person who thought so.

It did'nt really do much for me either,I feel asleep 2/3rds of the way through it and had to re-watch it.
