A Japanese horror movie from the director of Ju-On:The Grudge, naturally would come with big expectations. However, it seems Shimizu missed the mark with his 2005-flick Reincarnation.
The premise of the movie is based on Re-incarnation as the title suggests, but mythos is barely explored beyond the general understanding of the phenomenon.
As the movie progresses, there is a feeling of dread present, but it never manifests, as the movie is completly devoid of any kind of scares. Leading to lacklustre viewing experience.
However, the movie does boast of great set-piece and the prop department should be commended for creating th chilling doll, which has been wasted in a movie like this.
I felt that the movie was tightly paced, but its short runtime leads to a movie which barely explored anything beyond the genre tropes.
