Comments: I kept thinking this film was going to shrivel up and fall off a cliff but it kept looking me in the eye, daring me. It's creepy. Dread filled creepy. Not too scary.

Summary: After one of their friends commits suicide, strange things begin happening to a group of young Tokyo residents. One of them sees visions of his dead friend in the shadows on the wall, while another's computer keeps showing strange, ghostly images. Is their friend trying to contact them from beyond the grave, or is there something much more sinister going on?
