Synopsis:

A mother and her young daughter move into a rundown apartment building. The discovery of an abandoned schoolbag sets of a series of chilling events.

Review:

Hideo Nakata strikes again with this sodden chiller which had me nearly crawling over the back of the seat to get away from it. Less berserk than Ring and sharing some plot points, but eventually just as creepy and certainly more moving as a mother strives to keep her daughter safe from her ex-husband and that persistent leak in the ceiling.
