Most Horrible Horror Titles Hiroshi Usui is the producer of a hit TV show about exorcisms, but ratings have lately been falling. To combat this the producers visit the Nagao residence and perform an exorcism on a young woman said by her eccentric family to be possessed, but the procedure goes horribly wrong. Meanwhile, Hiroshi is party to information about "dead waves," signals from malign spirits that combine with television waves, which he begins to believe in when he realizes that increased numbers of local suicides--including that of his ex-girlfriend--coincide with his show.

I’m really mad with this film… It started off really well, held a very interesting premise but just… couldn’t hold it. It felt like a director and writer started this and then gave up after the first 10-20 minutes and handed it over to a completely different duo. It feels like a mash up and rip off of Ju-On and Pulse (2001). In fact, this most definitely ripped off Infection (2004) for sure.
By the end of this, I was working on data editing, not paying attention, looked up at random points and still completely understood what was going on. This film is an hour and seventeen minutes, yet you can literally watch 20 minutes and completely understand what’s going on, what’s happened, etc. 20 minutes of the entire film.
This had a brilliant premise, but for some reason it got completely screwed up. I want to see this again, but with a decent director and decent script.
There’s really not much to say on this… That’s it. This review is it.
Mediocre at best, a ton of ripping off and 1.5 of 2 stars are only for Wada Soko and his gothic-like presence on my screen. That’s… literally all I have to say. My friend owes me a drink. Try a different 2000s era Japanese horror, anything else is better than this.
I definitely won’t be watching anything else by Hayama Yoichiro willingly and not any time soon in any aspect of the idea of time.
