With cameras picking up ghostly activity, haunted media, lingering curses, and long haired yūrei, Don't Look Up really does feel like Hideo Nakata's dry run for Ringu. Nakata and co. employ some really creative visuals and camerawork that he'll only perfect in Ringu. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel nearly as confident and lacks the spooky atmosphere. Instead, I spent the majority of this film wishing I was on a movie set.
