After early success in horror with Cure and Pulse, writer-director Kiyoshi Kurosawa dabbled in a few other genres before successfully returning to freaking people out with this story of an ex-detective, his wife, and their suspicious neighbor. Kurosawa uses what he learned from studying Hitchcock (he appears in the documentary Hitchcock/Truffaut) to subtly and slowly work on viewers’ nerves until the tension is unbearable.
“The film supplies a headlong rush of tension and cruelty all the way to a gratifying final payoff.” —Maggie Lee, Variety
