Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

puuoor We can learn many things of these Genres. I've forgotten most of my funny fears after watching these genres. I think someone who wants to be a great person must get released of his or her fears and fight for his or her goals.

jacobjohntaylor1 This a remake of a Japan movie. The Japan movie from 2002 was awful and this remake is worst. I can't believe the director of Evil dead made this movie. I think it is hilarious that people are scared of this stupid movie. The Scream movies most have made them pooh there pants. Good actor wasted there talent being in this movie. Get special effects. Awful story line. Man kills his cat and his wife and son. So they ghost come back to kill every one. That is so stupid. It is not scary. This is not scary. It is an overrated pile of pooh. People think it is so smart because it is based one a foreign film. I can think of foreign films I like and it is not just because there foreign films and not from the U.S.A. There are a lot of U.S.A teen horror films that a really scary. And if you are really scared of this overrated crap. Then I can see why you don't like teen horror movies because they make you pee your pants

FlashCallahan Karen Davis is residing in Japan with her boyfriend, who is studying there. Temporarily assigned to be a carer for a woman with severe sleeping disorder, Karen goes to the patient's house. What she finds is something she would never expect. The house is plagued by the presence of murderous ghosts, the result of a curse. The curse is born from someone dying in a powerful rage. Now, Karen finds herself being tormented by that curse, as it eventually starts claiming it's victims.....In the early noughties, the cinema was rife with remakes of 'J-Horror', and even though some of them were good, it was just an excuse for Hollywood to make money, because some people just couldn't be bothered with subtitles.The Ring, Dark Water, Shutter, and this are prime examples.But at least this was directed by the originals director, so at least some respect has been maintained. Geller is in it, she's okay, but the movie goes to show that she could never carry a film. She more or less put a stake in her movie career with her performance, like rice with no salt, its does the job, but it's very bland.So thank heavens then for the rest of the cast, and the brilliant camera-work used when we see the ghosts.The lift scene, and the photo montage are standouts, in what other wise are jump scenes.Its one of those movies that the more you watch it, the less the horror will scare you, and the story will intrigue you more.Worth seeing, but if you've seen the original, don't bother.

SnoopyStyle When someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage... A curse is born. The curse gathers in that place of death. Those who encounter it will be consumed by its fury.Peter Kirk (Bill Pullman) kills himself jumping off his apartment balcony in Japan.Yoko visits elderly Emma (Grace Zabriskie) living in a Tokyo house. She is attacked by a spirit. Karen Davis (Sarah Michelle Gellar) is a student nurse living in Tokyo with her boyfriend Doug (Jason Behr). Karen takes over Yoko's job with Emma after she disappeared. Karen finds little boy Toshio trapped in a taped up closet.The movie flashes back to when Emma is first shown the house with her kids Susan (KaDee Strickland) and Matthew (William Mapother) and his wife Jennifer (Clea DuVall).The only interesting thing in this movie is Japan. Sadly, it doesn't even take full advantage of that since most of this takes place inside the house. The spirits aren't that creepy and not scary at all. The kills aren't gruesome. It's just very tame. There really isn't anything to this movie. There is also a problem with all these tangentially connected characters. They have no emotional relationship with SMG's Karen. The disconnected nature really lowers the stakes of this movie. The spirit chasing KaDee Strickland in Japan is the most compelling sequence but again she has no real connection with Karen.
