Ushikoku ni Mairu (2015)

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.
