Personally I enjoyed the first half far more - the mystery of all the supernatural events, the small details in the background that you need to pay attention to. The directing truly made me focus on what was happening on screen, since I did not want to miss any one of the bizarre moments - all thanks to some small detailed images.
And then the story started to get explained and for me it lost a bit of its charm. The scares shifted from unexplained supernatural to human’s evil deeds - it made me more uncomfortable than scared. There is value in exploring such themes, but it was not something I was looking for in this specific title.
The acting was decent. Nothing too outstanding, but good enough not to get distracting. Koki did a good job with the duality of her performance.
Overall, kept my interest till the end, even if the second half was slightly disappointing.

They managed to turn a 1 hour headache into a 2 hour one.All this could have been done in less than a hour.. all of it. There wasn't even any build-up to justify spacing this out over 2 hours.
The casting was good, I'll give it that and only that.
How do you have a 2 hour movie where the first half and second half don't even match? There was no explanation for anything either.
If it only dealt with twins, why take out those around them? Where's the twin? How's the aunt there? WHY was the aunt there? She was a twin so shouldn't she had been "accepted" by the ox god? Why are they trapped in the cave if they're in the village?
See like none of this shit makes sense to me.
I do know I have a huge ass headache though.

The past and present connection is everything to me.
I like this movie because it had that aspect of connecting the past and present as well as the fact that they actually made contact with it.The story is interesting. I love the back story and how they're thrown into that story themselves.
Personally, I watched this during midnight so it hits different than usual (I had someone with me though. for assurance ). I re-watched it during the day and thought that it wasn't that scary.
For those who are first time watchers and want to feel scared, watch this alone during late night. Having someone with you decreases the thrill and fear meter. LOL.
