Yes its in Japanese
but don't let that put you off from experiencing one of the best J-Horror films of late and one that will certainly live on in your memory. The first two thirds of the film lay down the plot with a recently divorced mother and her daughter trying to establish their own life, while going through the usual battle for custody. Their basic apartment block holds a secret that goes beyond merely a leaky roof. Japan may seem exotic to us, but the daily slog is very much like it is in the UK. The bleak urban landscape, lack of vibrant life and atmosphere is conveyed extremely well. Beneath the battle between the parents is the quest to know what is the source of the water from above. It is well worth sticking with this roller coaster as it reaches a dramatic climax. One that will have you going back just to check it out again.
