    The film unfolds as a series of interlocking flashbacks, beginning with Rika's first visit to the house and then going back and forth in time to catch its other victims as they walk into its various traps...

    The approach keeps viewers involved and guessing, since they have to reconstruct the time frame from clues (a repeated line of dialogue, a prop) provided in each sequence.
