GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
adonis98-743-186503 In Japan, when the volunteer social assistant Rika Nishina is assigned to visit a family, she is cursed and chased by two revengeful fiends: Kayako, a woman brutally murdered by her husband and her son Toshio. Each person that lives in or visits the haunted house is murdered or disappears. I don't know what is worse the fact that this movie was pretty dumb and stupid or the fact that the main ghost was pretty retarded and especially how they basically get haunted by the stupid ghost and don't get me start on how awkward this movie is. (0/10) (F)
nekosensei I wouldn't call this a bad movie. I just found it profoundly uninteresting. Continuity was a problem for me in this film; because it skips between time periods and is constantly introducing new characters and settings I found it hard keeping up with who was supposed to be who and where they were--for instance, because of an unclear transition I thought a character was still fleeing a haunted office building when she was actually going to her apartment and couldn't understand why the elevator she was in was going up, not down. It could be that the filmmakers wanted to create a deliberate sense of disorientation and panic to match what the characters were experiencing. But I just felt frustration at not being able to make sense of what was going on and impatience at the banality of the images being thrown at me.
daworldismine this movie is a horror masterpiece, id seen the two American grudge movies first, and they impressed me, but somebody told me that the original was even scarier i had to check it out. the first time i tried to watch it on my own i turned it off after ten minutes because i was that freaked out, and i didn't even really see anything. but the movie has a very haunting and creepy atmosphere that grabs you, even though i had seen the remakes first, it took nothing away from this horror masterpiece. there are a couple of cgi shots here, but for the most part, the scares are very classic, and some moments in this, are scarily haunting, and stick with you. bottom line is you want a brilliant, scary horror movie, this is for you, i highly recommend
Scott Baldwin (Meven_Stoffat) Yeah. True horror is an overrated/over-hyped Japanese flick in which a naked little boy covered in talcum powder runs around a house and his true moment of terror is when he bulges his eyes and makes a very loud "Mroooooooooooowwww!!!!!!" sound effect. Oh my god, it was so scary, I had a heart attack and had to be rushed to the hospital for a heart transplant.OK let's be serious now. I, like many and their dog, saw this before its American counterpart was released. I was hoping I was going to be in for a good ghost story, when instead I was in for a movie about people being scared by the aforementioned naked talcum powder drenched kid and some girl with bad hair who makes some belching noise to threaten her victims. Who'd have known people were so easily scared?There isn't much of a plot to speak of, except people go in a house and die by these two "ghosts". There was one scary part, and that was when the woman got pulled under the sheets, but that was done way better (and not so cheaply) in its American remake. The film's atmosphere sucks too- why is everything so light??? The American remake is an improvement as you can see they achieved the scares the original didn't. Way better creepy/brooding atmosphere, more convincing ghost story, etc. Save your money on this dreck.
