However, the confused screenplay is weird and flawed in some moments, with an absolute lack of explanation for many situations. For example, how Hashimoto walks in the ceiling of the directoru0026#39;s bedroom? Why the ghosts kill when the person looks in their eyes? Why the mother dies exactly when Tung reaches her room? There are many other situations without a satisfactory explanation, but it is worthwhile watching this film. My vote is seven.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026quot;Silk – O Primeiro Espírito Capturadou0026quot; (u0026quot;Silk – The First Captured Spiritu0026quot;)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNote: On 04 September 2015, I saw this film again.”
