Never after Dark is a really good movie. While it felt familiar and similiar to other J-horror films it stood on it's own. The cast was excellent as well and Hoshi Moeka was very good as Airi. She's a medium helping ghost get to the other side. Yoshioka Mutsuok was creepy as F!! I can't give anymore details b/c it would spoil the movie.

What Japenese horror films have always done well and done better than anyone else in my opinion is the setting of the tone, suspense building and mood setting. People are comparing this to Insiduous (at least that's what I've seen online). I have never seen Insiduous and may never see it but this movie was very well done. And yes, I know this is directed by American Dave Boyle but it was shot entirely in Japan with and all Japanese cast.

So glad it was playing near me.
