Review of Kaidan (2007) by Bernie S — 26 Jun 2011
The worst paced movie of all time? Maybe. Marketed as a creepy ghost movie in the vein of Ringu, (same director) Kaidan is a disturbing drama with a few good creepy scenes, but most of it feels like it takes forever to get to the point.
The main character is a nice guy, so nice that women want him. The daughter of a cursed man vows that if he ever marries after she dies, she'll come back to kill his loved ones. And she does. Many times. The whole movie is her screwing this guy over and over, and he never seems to be able to dodge a relationship.
I hated the actor's face. He had these bug eyes and was not very sympathetic, since he went around screwing with any female in proximity.
The pace is ultra slow, the first quarter being a love story to set up the curse, the rest is 90 minutes of tragedy with a ridiculous but entertaining fight scene at the end.
A highly unsatisfying film all around, Ringu this is not.
