Anthologies can be hit and miss, so how does this J-Horror fare?
With a brief frame of creepy ghost on a bus, we get a collection of random other horror fare. Spiderwoman is pretty straight forward "here is a creepy supernatural urban legend" that of course turns out to be true. Crevices could have been more, but on the other hand it doesn't hang around. Sacrifice is pretty straight forward, you can call what is going to happen after a minute, but then need to wait for it to play out. Blonde Kwaidan is much of nothing. Presentiment is another instance of "yep, we see what you are doing and... waiting for it to happen".
With these being short tales, it plays both into it and against it. We get to the point, but the point isn't anything amazing to get to. These are fine, but more of a sampler taster than fuller fare.
