Shikoku Review



The actress playing Sayori in this movie, Chiaki Kuriyama, was also in Kill Bill, Azumi2 and Juon. She is has a great poker face and can also be very sweet and cute looking. This movie has some good moments but just doesn't quite pull together, and the creepy moments peter out. The premise of the story, I might as well add the spoiler, is that the town of Shikoku has a cave through which the just dead can return to life. This usually is not a good thing. AFter her death, her mother tries to get her back from the dead, and even pushes her husband off a cliff because he is trying to prevent this from happening. It moves slowly on top of that.

I rate it 2/5 acorns.
