This film is another indie flick that I recently had the opportunity to view. I can say that it was truly creepy and eerie in so many ways! I don't want to ruin it for anyone, so I won't elaborate on the scenes! However, this movie actually scared me! My hat is off to Takashi Shimizu for making this film with the tight budget restraints that he had to work within! He definitely pulled off a winner! However, when it was redone for the American audience in "The Grudge" it lost a lot of it's creepiness and dark ambiance. You can't remake horrific perfection. This is the one movie that started it all! Ringu, The grudge .. all followed. Takashi is an amazing director. Creating an eeriness that you feel from the beginning, and having you biting your nails throughout the entire flick - he makes you want to hide into the arm of the person your viewing this movie with, or sulk down and peek out of a pillow! I do enjoy a good scare, and today's movies lack just that. I look forward to seeing more of his films! If you get a chance to see this film, do so - horror fans --- you'll appreciate it!
