what all right horror movies Japanese horror movies are the scariest of them all I don't like the thing with the horror movies these days all right they show too much guts and too much blood and too much cutting it's when you use your imagination any young director right now when you can get the the viewer to use their imagination their imagination is worse than what you would ever show them with all the special effects there's no way and and and like and I don't I have no more words because my heart still beating yeah that was creepy the from the beginning II didn't I didn't expect like the

that's that's really cool because right now they're the cherry blossoms are just are still fresh off on the on the tree so in fact some of them have in bloom I'd say it's like my stomach's still right in my throat right now so the some of the blossoms are still having blossomed yet so that they're on there pretty good a little bit of the rain you can see they're starting to knock them off but I
