I really like the slow and ominous atmosphere of Kairo, especially its depiction of Japan's late 90s and early 2000s aesthetics, including early internet culture and architectural design. The film features some excellent decor shots that enhance its eerie and nostalgic feel.
Fun fact: Kiyoshi Kurosawa, known for his work in horror, actually started his career directing pink films, which are a genre of Japanese softcore adult movies. This diverse background contributed to his unique approach to creating tension and atmosphere in his later works.
I give this film a 6/10 mostly because i love the aesthetics from the early 2000s.
