Shikoku (1999)

Shikoku is an island where our heroine spent her childhood and left behind her two best friends.  Coming back some fifteen years later, she discovers that the girl friend is dead and that the boy friend is mourning her.  More to the point the dead girl's mother has gone 'round the twist and is on her 16th pilgrimage to the island's 88 temples, visiting them in the reverse order to that prescribed, which is meant to result in her daughter returning from the dead.  Like so many modern Japanese horror films this one is big on spooky atmosphere but short on real jolts and it doesn't help the western viewer that the dead daughter looks just like the ghost that crawled out of the television set in "Ringu".
