Critics reviews

It's clear that more than being shocking or allegorical, the scenes of hair growing out of the eyeballs and fingertips of the extensions' victims are meant to be and are weirdly funny. And perhaps the most amusing level on which the film plays is as an inside J-horror joke about the now iconographic image of a vengeful female ghost who has a tangle of black tresses (cf. Ringu, Ju-On) that seems almost inseparable from and the visual foundation for her creepiness.
