It reminds me of Rie Inō, a Kabuki student who played Sadako, the terrifying ghost in Ringu. To get the footage of Sadako crawling out of the well,Rie Inō was filmed walking backward, moving her limbs in the signature jerky Kabuki motions which are traditionally used to portray powerful emotions. When the footage was run in reverse, the effect was unnatural, blood-chilling.
