This is a very bizarre and terrible Japanese film about a high school girl who is obsessed with and haunted by whirlpools. It pleasantly shows that Japanese filmmakers can also unintentionally make truly awful movies. I think American critics can often let badness slide if it's a foreign film, because they want to be PC, which just shows that they don't get it. We need to praise terrible films wherever they appear! Because their entertainment value is simply on another level! (except "The Room," which can cause pain.)
