Eyow. Poor, wheelchair bound Yasu is left during the day with some odd relatives that come to stay because they have nowhere else to go. The relatives in question are an old lady named Chiyo, who supposedly has Alzheimers, and an anorexic-looking young woman named Yuki. They're certainly an odd pair, but there's no reason why they shouldn't be taken in, says dad, because they're family. At first their odd behavior is merely odd, but they're only getting started. Seems that they are not at all what they seem, and have been involved in some more-than-nasty incidents over the years. Poor Yasu gets the "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane" treatment, and then some. This is a fairly creepy and weird flick, somewhat typical of the types of horror movies finding their way to DVD in this country. Now according to the box art, some fans liken this to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which I didn't understand, except for the family part, which you'll find out more about if you watch it. There are lots of dark dark secrets here. I felt the ending was fairly disappointing, though, as it attempts to explain away most all of what you've seen, kind of like "Identity". Still though, while this is not "top notch", it's still decent viewing for fans of modern Japanese horror.
