Sakebi (Retribution)
(2006) ***1/2
A detective investigates a series of murders which look like the work of a serial killer. He begins seeing the ghost of a woman in a red dress who he believes is the unknown victim.

This was a really good J-horror film also reviewed by JPX last year. I rated it slightly lower than he did only because I really didn't find it to be scary at all. The story itself is really good and it held my interest throughout. A very good movie, I just wish the ghost had been a bit more frightening.

I dig that picture of the crack in the wall, but I agree she doesn't look too scary in that last one. She looks like she's about to hold up a clipboard and ask him to donate money.
JPX did I watch this with you or at least plan to? I feel like I did, yet I have no recollection of it.
