Reincarnation: The following is rated "R." No need to change into clean underwear.

Now we are looking at a Japanese movie that will be remade in America in about two years.
It starts out with the shot of people commuting across Japan. Follows with Japanese school girls gossiping. Something is wrong with one of the phones and she sees the reflection of a face. Rushing wind accompanies this graphic to let us know it is ominous.
Now we have a guy in an elevator. Camera whips around a corner and he's stunned. Now a guy in a restroom with the same camera whip and sound. More horrified looks.
Someone just hit by a car. Now flipping between bathroom mirror and car accident scene. The driver is trying to get away. Zombies. It just got better.
The story took off to the point where there is something legitimately creepy going on, so I would recommend seeing at least the first half hour. Beyond the camera whips and noise. After creepy scene, we get opening graphics. This is how a horror movie is supposed to be written.
11 minutes in and you want to know what that cut scene was all about. Creepy dolls and disappearing kids flashing across the screen. None of it out of place. I am digging this film.
I'm not giving away any more of this movie accept to say that it awesome. After the 25 minute mark.
An old horror story that is done well.
The next time you are over, remind me to put it on so we can watch a good movie.
