Inugami (2001) - IMDb

Akira, a teacher from Tokyo, has just arrived in a small rural town to begin his new job. Soon after arriving, he meets, and begins to fall for, Miki, a papermaker and part of a large and unusual family. When he learns of an ancient legend that the family carries the curse of the Inugami, or Dog God, he brushes it off as silly superstition. After a series of mysterious deaths, however, the townspeople begin to grow restless, and Akira must confront the truth about Miki and her family.

This is pretty unusual film that I would cautiously recommend since its a bit slow moving and you have to pay close attention, am actually going to have to re-watch it myself because I missed a few things.
Has anyone seen this and if so what did you make of the ending, I thought I was following the film just fine until the last bit.
