"E" means to isolate! Reading the synopsis for this film, I expected a little more than I got in the end, because in my hopes was to see a very original horror film about the confrontation of two supernatural girls, with all the ensuing features of the Japanese film industry, but no.
For starters, the movie is not bad, but unfortunately not without flaws. Despite a good concept and what no detective line, the picture manages to sag in places.
There is a very intriguing beginning of the film, revealing to us the essence of the main character, suddenly discovered the ability to telepathy, which by the way for the whole film she will be extremely reluctant to use, especially since the main intrigue with the name of the ghost is revealed by simple everyday logic, and the most attentive viewers can solve the whole mystery in the first 10 minutes, and in fact, in the so-called “intrigue” nothing intriguing and purely influencing the plot! Also, I did not understand the meaning of the girl, in whose head settled 12 unwanted neighbors, because it also does not affect the plot, although it could serve as a good aspect for the detective story or escalate the effect of mystery and surprise, but this clearly did not press. If it were my will, in order to avoid unnecessary chatter and rudimentary organs of the plot, I would generally remove all minor personalities from the head of the unfortunate schoolgirl, I would write off all the fuss on the psychological trauma of an earthquake, coupled with a sad past, and only then put into her head an unfortunate ghost with a vengeful motivation, and the film would only benefit from this. Or I would have left all 13 personalities, built at least a large part of the plot around them, and in particular, the search among these personalities of a ghost-killer, and yes, such a storyline took place, but how sluggish and poorly played it was, that simply passed by my eyes. Otherwise, there is a good atmosphere and sometimes a creepy pitch, on which this creation itself rolls out.
Technical performance does not cause complaints, even the ghost turned out very well, being a hybrid of Western and Japanese style. Characters attract, especially the main character. So, if the movie suddenly became sticky, then at least there will be someone to put an eye on, which by the way was noted in the film itself - "With your appearance, you can always count on success among men".
To sum it up, it’s not a bad movie to watch. Despite a very good idea, many aspects of the plot remain either undisclosed or simply useless. There are pleasant characters, a few creepy moments and a good atmosphere of general devastation. Not without silly moments, but this is an unshakable paraphernalia of almost any horror film. To look at my own fear and risk, I was almost pleased, I do not regret watching and I will put the film.
