To each their own, but this movie felt like beating a dead horse. The directing and the characters are nice, but the story itself felt a little bit too shallow. I can see where the positive reviewers are coming from, but to me personally it was an O.K. movie, but no more.
Wasted potential. There's nothing exciting about this film and I find it to be very underwhelming. Maybe I set my expectations too high. It feels too drawn out and lengthy. The drama part is interesting enough with some solid performances but the horror part not so much. You have to wait 15 minutes before credits to see the truly terrifying part. The ending is pretty suspenseful to be honest but I already lost interest. Could've been more enjoyable with quicker pacing or maybe as a short film.
Interesting movie in the beginning but then it becomes a continuous struggle to understand the plot, very charismatic with surreal but engaging scenes, it starts slowly and in the middle of the film it becomes a bit of a mess.
Nothing special, I had better expectations but it turned out to be an anime that could have given more...
Since the beginning you can understand what the movie's about and the introduction is a good touch on the main story which is good all until their friend Kelly comes and they all go to the greenhouse part of the house, when her friends go searching for another candle after Kelly's one blows out they see the doctor and they stand around talking with him nonsense for who knows how long as if they totally forgot about Kelly and they come surprised when they find her dead hours later.
Another scene before the ending with Miles when he checks the time but finds out that the Midnight Man used his trick, so then he comes and Miles just stands there watching him immobilised waiting to die even though he had enough time to go back to his salt circle.
These were some minor things but they were really frustrating and ruined the mood of the scenes... I think a fan of this movie and the creepypasta should also check the game which is a bit old and made with Unity but it's very nostalgic and reminds me of the Slenderman days.
Good prequel to Ju-On: The Curse, I think if you watch that movie you can't skip this one and the first mini-film "Katasumi" (In a Corner).
They are a good short introduction to the main thing.
They portray the good old-style horror with no music and different camera prospectives.

4/10
it's a movie-documentary, I believe a lot more could have been done portraiting the worst of the cons in the porn industry, I see it as more of a low effort missed opportunity of a good idea.
The cinematography aswell as the music is not bad, it's standard for what it should be in this genre.
It has a story of a person which had part in this industry, beside the actual documentary to change its pace.
Although the message of the movie is good I'm not gonna recommend it because these points I've mentioned are important and you can simply go on forums which talk about this subject and learn more than this film gives.
8/10
The movie is very well done, it's easily watchable by everyone of every age as the story isn't as hard to follow.
The story is the most crucial part, without writing any spoilers, we can split the movie in three parts, the past, present in the prospective of the hand and the other present in the prospective of the main character Naoufel, with this, each scene has a different feel and setting to it which when put together forms the actual story. I can safely say the pace of the film is very good, especially the last scenes which are usually the crucial turning point in most movies of this genre.
The choice of art style of the animation is my favourite because it is very easy on the eyes and the colours have the opportunity to give off their own ambience.
I have nothing much to say on the english voice actors, I watched it in original language although I don't really understand French that well.
The music is well thought out even if the watcher doesn't pay attention, it really sets the mood for the perfect scene.
