Cursed (Japan, 2004)

Employees at a convenience store must get to the bottom of supernatural goings-on occurring within their workplace.

I'll be the first to admit that Cursed is more passable than awesome, but when you're dealing with the J-horror genre you take what you can get. Basically it's a low-budget B-movie but if I'm going to be fair it had some genuine spooky  moments, more so than some other far more expensive films  I've seen. It never tries to be more than it is and always aims for that creepy atmosphere, nothing over-ambitious. I was surprised over how chilling a few scenes were, and that's a sign of a director who's only using what he has and not trying to compete with the greats within the same genre. 

With expectations in the right places, Cursed can be a good way to pass the time for the big time lovers of J-horror.
