3.0 out of 5 stars Tame, But Enjoyable, August 7, 2006

If you are looking to be scared out of your wits, this is not going to do it. Mentioning or comparing those two movies with this production is false advertising. These stories are allegedly true, but fall flat with cheesy special effects (the light emanating from a ghost is just a spotlight chasing people around) and tame plotlines. Not to mention every story is told by a girl, usually junior high age. Males exist only in supporting roles in two tales.

The stories are more relaxing than anything else. The slight spookiness here is best served as an appetizer for a truly terrifying film.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really that scary, August 22, 2010

Now just so you know a little about me, I love Japanese horror films and Japanese horror shorts, but this set of stories were really not that scary. There was possibly 2 or 3 out of the 10 that were good, but nothing special. If you're looking for a dvd with actually scary Japanese horror shorts I would go with Tales of Terror From Tokyo: The Movie (The Volume sets are really bad compared to the movie). However, if you REALLY love j-horror and have to watch it, get it.
