Although the premise of the story is good, the story starts to fall apart because it's obvious that what's moving are not scarecrows, but human actors, and the reason for Izumi to come back was somewhat weak.
The movie would have been better if it didn't have the love connection between Izumi and Tsuyoshi, and was a strait laced horror movie, like the night of the living dead. The story's angle on what Kaoru wanted in the end was nice.
But overall, the reason why this all happened was weak. It had good material, but intrigue was low because of this.
It's not a bad movie, but not special either. It was a typical Japanese horror movie.
