I watched a Japanese horror film called
"The Locker" tonight. It was a standard Japanese cursed 'thing' kind of movie, in this case it was a small public storage locker like what you see in bus stations. It was just so routine and by-the-numbers that I could barely finish watching it. It didn't have any real flaws regarding the production itself, the movie looked nice enough, the acting was adequate, the direction and editing were competent is a bit slow. The story was just so unoriginal, and the writing so lazy, and the characters so flat, I can barely muster the energy or care to even write about it. Seriously, it was so dull that talking about it feels like a chore.

This movie was a semi professional but witless cash-in on Ringu. On the plus side, it was mercifully short, clocking in just over an hour, and that, combined with how slow the movie moved, demonstrates just how little effort was put into the screenplay and how much the filmakers had to compensate for it.
The disc I received had locker part 2 on it as well, but I didn't bother with that one.
