 While it might share a lot of similarities to the "Ringu" series, that doesn't mean it isn't a good movie. It is a really solid ghost story with very good characters you can sympathize with. It doesn't rewrite the horror book, but I think too many people expect J-Horror to completely revolutionize horror with each new movie. It is just a good horror movie that will inevitably be remade in the US before too long. This film teaches you a good rule of thumb: don't knock the heads off shrine statues, it really is a bad idea. |
