Takashi Shimizu has tried in every way to disassociate himself from "ju-on" and has received a lot of hate because of it. His recent films have been harshly criticized, but what people still dont understand is that he is in essence an "avantgarde" director. Innocent Curse has a apparently cliché premise: A curse that runs against time, ghost children and a dramatic background on child abuse, but the bizarre touches of surrealism make it stand out and become a really creative movie !! The initial scene is good, but the final half hour was one of the most incredible things I've seen this year! Unfortunately it is a movie that will not be appreciated as it should, but I recommend it for those who have an open mind and like oddities !!
