Hell Girl - 2006 - 5/10
AKA - Jigoku Shōjo // 地獄少女
TV adaptation of popular anime series.
At midnight, seekers of Hell Girl key in her website and one lucky soul is answered.
By and large, all desire revenge, or justice.
Summoned, Hell Girl hands them a wooden fetish with a red ribbon around it.
Untie the ribbon, and your target is ferried immediately to Hell.
Payment – damnation. Those who untie the ribbon will spend eternity in Hell once they die.
Episodes, without credits, run a scant 20 minutes..
Stories are generic, young actors get their chance, veterans overact, sets are cheap.
Low expectations justified.
