Featured review
Poor rabbits...
'In A Corner (1998)' is one of two short films created by Takashi Shimizu for the anthology film 'School Ghost Story G (1998)'. Interestingly, Shimizu's two shorts make up less than 10% of the final film, yet these are the segments that have made the most impact. This is primarily because they act as precursors to 'Ju-On: The Curse (2000)' (as well as the subsequent 'Grudge' franchise); in fact, they act almost as missing scenes from that film. This movie acts as an introduction to Kayako, one of two Onyro at the centre of the aforementioned series, and it's a lot more effective than Shimzu's other 'School Ghost Story G (1998)' short. This is primarily because its payoff is unsettling and, as such, satisfying. Though the movie's fade-out ending sort of reduces its ultimate impact, its final act is still an effectively freaky culmination to the overall piece, which does a good job at building tension throughout. It's a solid effort, especially considering its length. 6/10.
