Jolo Nov 04 2019 4:15 am I loved it, starting to like Sadako even more.

The pace and background music felt a bit forced that it wants to give you a scare every 10 minutes or so. I like how some scenes bear resemblance to that of The Ring (2002).

Both traditional and contemporary. Just like many J-Horror movies, you probably have an idea of the twists of the movie and that it won´t have a happy ending. Contemporary in the sense that a youtuber losing his popularity decides to do something viral which is visiting an abandoned apartment...(I bet there are a lot of real-life cases of these but minus the part where the ghost is real).
