More than just a bit confusing, to say the least. Jumping between couples and time also adds to the confusion. The film plays like a bunch of random ideas thrown into a blender and mixed together. The child character is oh-so-cliched, as are the 'stalking' images on the victim's photographs. During the climax the heroin is so passive, its as if she simply allows everything to happen without any resistance whatsoever. Yawn.

It's ok - some creepy images here and there, but overall seemed more silly than scary. cool effects though.

Here is what I saw in this old movie (2004 and I am writing this in 2017)that I just watched. There are doors. People walk in and out of the doors. Some doors lead to other doors which lead to stairways which have doors that lead to hallways which have many doors on each side. One of these doors will most certainly lead to a landing where there will be an apparition. Scared of the apparition you will run up (or down) the stairs to a door which will lead to another hallway (or a room) with an apparition. You will be scared.

Karen Davis is residing in Japan with her boyfriend, who is studying there. Temporarily assigned to be a carer for a woman with severe sleeping disorder, Karen goes to the patient's house. What she finds is something she would never expect. The house is plagued by the presence of murderous ghosts, the result of a curse. The curse is born from someone dying in a powerful rage. Now, Karen finds herself being tormented by that curse, as it eventually starts claiming it's victims.....In the early noughties, the cinema was rife with remakes of 'J-Horror', and even though some of them were good, it was just an excuse for Hollywood to make money, because some people just couldn't be bothered with subtitles.The Ring, Dark Water, Shutter, and this are prime examples.But at least this was directed by the originals director, so at least some respect has been maintained. Geller is in it, she's okay, but the movie goes to show that she could never carry a film. She more or less put a stake in her movie career with her performance, like rice with no salt, its does the job, but it's very bland.So thank heavens then for the rest of the cast, and the brilliant camera-work used when we see the ghosts.The lift scene, and the photo montage are standouts, in what other wise are jump scenes.Its one of those movies that the more you watch it, the less the horror will scare you, and the story will intrigue you more.Worth seeing, but if you've seen the original, don't bother.
