So sorry to say, the American version is actually better imo. And I'm a bit of a Japanophile so I don't say the lightly. This one is okay too. I maybe preferred the protagonist in this one, but it's not as scary or stylized.
This just wasn't for me.
i like the movie and the story of it was interesting
A must watch J-horror classic. Plus the ending credits song is BOP.
A classic film! I did enjoy it more than the remake. It was much more suspenseful, which I greatly enjoyed and appreciated.
