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.

This Dvd keeps me on the edge of my seat when watching it and the Dvd plays perfectly without any problems whatsoever-Thank you!

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.

The story lines are decent but the acting is sometimes cheesy. Ive been studying Japanese for 1.5 years now and loved this video because the dialogue is clear and slow enough to understand. Even if you're not studying Japanese, I recommend watching this. Would make a unique and not too scary video for preteen slumber parties too :)

Im completely satisfied, the shipping process was very fast, the quality of the movie was excellent, not to mention the price.
Ill refer all my friends.

Thank you!

(...). don't get me wrong i really liked the ring and the grudge but this is horrible. there is 10 "scary" stories on this dvd and not a single one is frightening. they're all cheesy as hell and most aren't even really about scaring anyone. example; one of the first ones is supposed to be about a female swimmer who encounters one of these "spirits". thinking it's her friends trying to scare her ,when she's in the locker room, she confronts the ghost of a dead girl that died in the school. the ghost is in a bathroom stall and ends up trying to pull her over the top of the stall door. the girl breaks free and runs to the exit trying to escape as the ghost is hot on her trail. sounds pretty scary right. wrong, you never see the ghost, except for a painted white hand, and nothing happens to the girl, besides a little mark on her wrist. this dvd is terrible and if you like to be frightened beyond all belief i'd say look somewhere else.
