I had seen this DVD a few times and while it was lower in price I snapped it up. It reads as many Asian horror's do, cursed item, doomed hero, innocent child etc.

In the most part it delivered. A nice early shock then led to a fairly captivating storyline, not as difficult to follow as many Asian horrors. It becomes clear the main character is losing her mind after finding the doomed shoes, and the frequent fights between her and her small daughter over them grow tiresome, even if they are an important plot line.

The ending is satisfactory and possibly twists in a way you didn't expect, especially the final few minutes. The constant flashing lights are to reflect the state of mind of the characters but some people mind find it a bit dazzling. The story behind the shoes feels a little weak and drawn out but involves some nice slow dance scenes to combat the speed of the present.

As I said, large portions of this film involve flashing lights for extended periods of time.
