I don't have a weak heart so this movie wasn't so or too scary at all. I saw other more better, but to not let myself drive away by thoughts I will remain stuck to this. I feel pretty impressive with the performance of actress Akiyama Rina in Yuki's role, as a gothic and lolita. Although I am disappointed with some aspects which I will list below. Story : Doesn't have a bad idea. A normal family, more like a happy family, perhaps perfect in the eyes of Japanese Society. A father, that is a priest and a mother whose,apparently a demon. I find the idea a cliche, why ? Is easy. The idea is that something a good, a pure servant of God to marry a demon ?! And the fruit of their love to be a being half? And as I understood from the movie, the demon, Yuki's mother to chose a better path ? Ok, as I said, the idea is not bad, but, is still a cliche for me. I saw stories like a big, naught , bad-boy mafia leader fall for a naive,pure heart,kind and poor woman ? Oook ... Revenge like revenge, I am a person that wants revenge even for a bug, but ok.If he could, director Go Ohara would thrust on the whole idea with revenge. Maybe for others would be easy digested or . . . not. Well,mister writer Hisakatsu Kuroki,I might cheer for him when I am not so horrified. From the plan,that is at least realistic, is passed, more than three quarters of the movie to the fantasy side,sorry, horror-fantasy.Even if I listed so many bad ideas, the story itself is at least, unique. Offers to the watchers a unique way to express themself (not killing others) but to understand some concepts about life in Japan (more like the bad side) and life itself. Acting/Cast : The characters are quite reliable. Family, which does not exceed a frame too impersonal, is normal and celebrate a happy day, Yuki's birthday.The bad guys, five at number,failed in a manner in art killings, crucify Yuki's mother ? Each of the 'bad guys' have some special powers (or abilities ?) Well, I felt angry or pissed about Gerao Yuro (Psychic Teacher), I was like : O_o WTF man !? Almost all the battle only flew across the gym and,like from magic, Yuki finds a way to kill him !? Okkk, this fight/flying scene annoyed me very much. I can say, i would give them a 9 because were great, specially Yuki with all her 'seek revenge'. Music: Maintained the atmosphere properly, and even at the flashback to the birthday,supposedly forgotten, the music (or the one with it) did a great job. Rewatch Value : I thought about it and well, I better watch the bees. Second time doesn't exist me for this movie. Like how it is said : Once in a life time. Overall: Because the rewatch value was low, all the movie was drag down, very down. I would give it a 7, with a big indulgence from me. I truly love Japanese Movies, but this : no words. I can say, guys, watch it even when the night comes, if your not weak at heart.
