The film does give fulfill it's title by giving you the creepy vibe at the start, but once the mystery is revealed in the final act, it all goes downhill from there.
Even though the movie is roughly 2 hours long, it still had some explaining to do, thus not a effective use of time.
The movie is definitely not deserving of a 90%+ freshness rating on rotten tomatoes not even a 70%.
You'll probably spend most of your time shaking your head at the actions of the characters.
SPOILERS AHEAD BEWARE
-My gripe with the movie is that they never explained what kind of drug the psychopath uses to take control of their victims.
-This movie failed to get me to care for any of the characters besides the ex- detective.
-the ex-detective isn't without his flaws, why did he go back to the witness and pester her without telling her about the new victims? he pretty much harassed her trying to get her to recognize the photo of the neighbor. That was definitely inhuman as the witness says, but also stupid on the ex-detectives part as the witness was clearly done with the case and could have been encouraged to help if he had told her about the new events.
-the wife is abysmal, she's the first one to say the neighbor is creepy yet she still persists to try and "befriend" him? I know she wasn't happy in her marriage but was she that desperate?
-It looked like Mio wasn't taking the drugs? so she was equally participating in the decimation of her family? she had many chances where she could have gotten help (she goes to school for still for crying out loud) and even a few chances to kill the psychopath. It can't be Stockholm syndrome as she does reach out to the ex-detective and gives him small clues because y'know, she wants the ex-detective to work for the answer instead of saving her family/others.
-The ending where the wife screams when she embraces her partner had me confused. Was she crying because she's having withdrawal symptoms due to the fact she acknowledges she can no longer get more of the drug? or was she crying as she would have to go back to her mediocre life with her partner?
