Japanese one is better but this does a good job too
Not bad, not great, definitely steals a bit too freely from Ringu. Miike knows how to stage a good shot and he delivers the creeps. Felt like the heroine did too much standing (/sitting/laying down) and screaming.
Not scary, weird but in a bad way, and terribly written. The “twist” is laughably bad.
Great movie with fun horror and an interesting story throughout, highly recommend to any fan of j-horror
Overrated. I'm a fan of J-Horror in general and Miike specifically. And I STILL thought it was overrated. I had to watch it in something like five sittings because I kept getting bored.
