Synopsis:
High school student Nana is the sole caregiver of her younger sister, Noriko while their mother is in the hospital. Nana’s world suddenly turns upside down when Noriko mysteriously disappears. The only clues Noriko has left are the train pass that she has picked up from the station a day before her disappearance and the dark shadow seen following the young girl on the surveillance footage from the station.
Movie Review:
Are you the kind of people who always tend to sit on the last LRT/KTM/etc (anything to do with trains) home? Are you afraid of the dark? Are you afraid of things that go “Give~it~back~”? Or are you the kind who goes around picking up stuffs around you that you think isn’t trash?
If you’re all of the above, I don’t suggest you to watch this movie because, like all the Japanese made movies, this movie revolves (The Japanese have a knack of scaring us with stuff we usually corporate into our lives daily, such as toilets, closets and so on) around trains, or to put it into perspective, underground trains.
This show begins when a young boy happened to pick up a train pass and became cursed by the owner and was told to “Give~it~back!!” and will die and so on and so forth.
Basically, not to destroy the plot. I’ll just talk about what I like or didn’t like about it. Before that, let me just entertain you with a few on screen clips that was in the movie.
So what did I like or don’t like about it? I like that the ghosts actually DID kill some people, I like the part where the ghosts seem really ghastly, I like the part where the director made you wait in suspense and nothing happens at one point and then “BOO” in an expectedly expected moment, I like the part where they made it so that the scariest moment is when it’s the VERY LAST TRAIN of the day!! Love the fact that it now teaches people NEVER to pick up ANYTHING!!
What I didn’t like was that of all the people who died, she (not gonna tell you who SHE is bwahahahaha) didn’t REALLY die o_O!!! I didn’t like the fact that it’s very anticlimactic at the very end of the story. I didn’t like the fact that it involves trains (afraid to commute in the dead of the night now.), I didn’t like the special effects at the end of the show (They probably rushed it at the end =/).
All in all, not a bad movie. I’d give it a 7/10 for a rating.
