That was a FUN ride!

Foe those of you who are familiar to JHorror, this is brought to you by Shiraishi, the legendary director who gave us Noroi, Occult, Cult etc etc. For those who don't, ot doent matter, because you're just about to enter a fun ride!

Like many of his other major works, this is made in found footage style. A woman posted a video recording wherein a mysterious red meteor landed in the forrest near her abode, and shortly after, a presence appeared in her house. The story goes on from there with a colorful gang of motley crew trying to unearth the mystery and to survive in general.

The characters are likable and well casted. The 6 episodes format is easy to ginge on jn one setting. The story is tight, with comic relief and has minimal blood shed because it's made for tv.

It's not frightening, but it's entertaining as hell.
