Reiko, a journalist and the aunt of one of the victims, sets out to investigate the shocking phenomenon, and in the process uncovers a creepy urban legend about a supposedly cursed videotape, the contents of which causes anyone who views it to die within a week - unless they can persuade someone else to watch it, and, in so doing, pass on the curse...

reiko x sadako yuri in a well was. . . . . . . kind of beautiful
This is one of the few instances that I prefer the movie to the novel! It gave more thriller than ghost story, but was enjoyable nonetheless!
Better than the American version in many ways.
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.
