One cold midnight, Kenji was riding on a bicycle on a trail in the woods...running away from his own life. When he saw a lady casting "Ushikoku" spell in the woods, a sleepless night begins. To cast 'Ushikoku' spell, one must nail a doll down to a tree in the midnight shrine. If the spellcaster is seen casting a spell, he or she must kill the witness to complete the spell... On the way running away from the lady through the midnight city, he finds out that no one helps him, his old friends, police, nobody. And soon, everyone starts chasing him, being a part of the spell. Kenji decides to fight. Not for his life, but for his girl with sickness inside her. (Source: IMDb) Edit Translation

Could've Been a Bit Scarier
Was finally able to finish this movie, last night...and I was disappointed.Not gonna lie, I really only watched this movie because of Hayato, and of course, he was amazing in this (in my opinion). As for the rest of the movie...I guess I was just slightly hoping to be scared, even if just a little bit. It was definitely creepy in some parts! But otherwise, I don't know if I accidentally ruined it for myself by waiting so long to finally sit down and finish it (I was busy), or, if the movie just didn't scare me, in general.
The acting was good, the music was alright to me and matched the tone (if I'm describing that, right), the story...probably could've used a bit more work, and to me, I guess the scares could've used a bit more work, too. I'm not looking for jump-scares! I guess I was just expecting slightly better, if that makes sense. And, in the end, I still had at least a few questions that I felt like didn't really get answered.
Well, anyway...that's my review. I don't write these, often, so hopefully, I did ok. I'm sure if this movie gets more attention, other people will have a different opinion than me, which is fine.
