Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film's theatrical trailer features stock footage from the original Japanese version of it, also named Kairo (2001). One scene in particular features a plane crash. The scene was re-done for this Americanized remake.
- GoofsThe film is supposedly set in Ohio; however, the telephone area code (818) for the rental office of Josh's now-vacant apartment is actually for the San Fernando Valley, California area (and the surrounding areas). Furthermore, Ziegler's Columbus Zip Code should be 43201 (not the made-up 41273) and 7th Avenue street numbers only go as high as the 3600s (not 13124), plus the actual street is not full of multi-storied apartment buildings designed in the Eastern Bloc brutalist architectural style. Dexter's Weymouth Drive street address (from his bounced check) is fictitious, but its Zip Code (44101) is an actual one in Cleveland, Ohio.
- Quotes
Mattie Webber: Just like Josh said, he pulled something through...
Dexter McCarthy: Pulled ghosts through the Wi-Fi? It just doesn't make any sense.
Thin Bookish Guy: [adding to their conversation] It makes all the sense in the world. Do you have any idea of the amount of data that's floating out there? The amount of information we just beam into the air? We broadcast to everyone where we are, and we think we're safe? The whole freakin' city is going insane, and we're acting like it's nothing. Well, it's not nothing. It's something we don't understand, and it is coming for us.
Goth Girl: You're freaking us out, man.
Thin Bookish Guy: It's the end of the world. That's what it is.
Goth Girl: Maybe it's the booze in your coffee.

The movie itself is well written and has a coherent plot. Of course, there are times when you can predict the next turn of events. But this does not happen very often.
The special effects are OK, not dated or something. They integrate very well in the unfolding of the plot. The soundtrack is also good, many low frequency noises, kind of electric ones (reminds me of "The Ring").
For a remake of a J horror movie, this one does a pretty good job. Worth watching if you have a couple of hours to spare.
