If you like asian horror movies, then this is definitely watchable. It is entertaining if you like that sort of stuff. The plot is pretty typical. This one involved a locker where if you put a love letter in it to someone then you will experience true love or something like that. Turns out the locker is cursed by a vengeful dead girl and anyone who gets involved with it dies. Similar to the story of the grudge but instead of a house it is a locker. This movie is watered down compared to a lot of the other stuff i've seen. If you want a really deep plot and a real sense of creepiness or unease then this is not the movie for you. I suggest you check out the one missed call movies, ab-normal beauty, silk, witch board (Bunshinsaba), ringu, ju-on, the eye, or reincarnation.

ok this film was a huge dissapointment mostly because it had sooo much promise in the beggining and then basically died at the end as though they were running low on time and just threw in a stupid ending in order to get the film done and over with. throughout the film i was for the most part impressed and left guessing by the story line as though they were going to tie everything together, but at the end they killed the whole movie because they quickly and uncreatively tied everything together. my recomendations, watch the beginning, skip the end and make up ur own!!!

This double feature is interesting. Even though the film appears low quality, the story is interesting and some of the effects are pretty eerie. I enjoyed the exotic setting and the glimpse of Asian folk lore. There are a few parts that give you chills.
It's not as dark or high quality as some of the others I have seen(A Tale of Two Sisters, Ringu, One Missed Call, Ju Rei), but will keep you entertained. I will admit that it does contain some cheesy parts.
I don't recommend this type of movie for viewers interested in the high special effects of American or western films. Instead, this is for viewers who enjoy the story and peeks into other cultures.

Kei Horie's Shibuya Kaidan, a.k.a. The Locker is decidedly a new run with the flavors of a few old favorites of Asian Horror; built around the premise of a small bank of public pay lockers in Shibuya District, which hold a horrific secret. Just south of famed Harijuku, Shibuya is a perfect locale for our clique of callow friend's that return from a weekend camping trip and visit that bank of lockers. The girls in the group routinely store books and clothing in them, as it's proximity to home and campus make for lighter travel between the two points.
While in the country, the six friends (3 ladies, 3 gents) consume a beer or two and attempt to tell ghost stories, which fall completely flat and digress into roaring laughter . It's quite the light-hearted night with friends. (And I laughed also because I could identify; I think we all can.) Things get going when one of the group, Keitarou (Yuge Tomohisa), takes the opportunity to scare the hell out of the group with a stone infants head he finds when our protagonist, Reika (Mizukawa Asami; a now grown-up Ikuko previously in Dark Water), had just heard faint crying near the adjacent lake. But she was the only one. Reika pleads with the group to listen for the cries, and as they concentrate, Keitarou produces the stone head which sends the group into screams. Even Keitarou couldn't believe his fortune on this prank. The next morning, on the return trip, another of the group suddenly hears those ... Read More

This is a mediocre film at best, but the performances by the actors are good otherwise; meanwhile, "the ghost" can seem rather ridiculous at times, and I can understand the complaints regarding this rather strange spectre. Still, this film has its own charms, and for Asian Horror fans, it's a good deal to get the two films on one dvd.
