This movie while it's not nearly as good as "The Ring" Or "The Grudge" does deliver a few scares..I was greatly disappointed in this film, but still rather enjoyed it..I loved the twist at the end and the ending was a good one..however the sweet Megumi is definitely NOT in the same horror class as "Kayako" she's sadly a very forgettable character..not the Actresses fault though she was quite good in this film she just didn't have much to work with..more could have been done with her Character...and the storyline could have stood some tweaking..still if you want a movie you can turn the lights down and watch without alot of gore or suspense this is the film for you!!
The trailers for this movie made it look pretty good, but it turned out to be not the best movie. It delivers the scares, but there are too many 'false alarms'. A lot of the love stuff in the beginning could've been left out. The real horror starts a little too late, and basically is pretty corny. Most of the acting is pretty bad, and some of the dialogue seems to be totally improvised.
This is one Japanese horror remake that shouldn't have been made at all in my opinion. It has a pretty bad plot that takes a long time to unfold and, at times, is rather boring. Warning - If you want to see a movie, just avoid this, and see something else instead. Trust me.
