I wonder why it took me so long to see this.
I haven't seen the original, but it's by the same director so I guess it's just a more westernized version of the Original (that's what I've heard, too).
Karen (Sarah MIchelle Gellar) lives in Tokyo with her boyfriend Doug (Jason Behr). She works at an agency to care for old people that can't take care of themselves. She is sent to a house alone for the first time and of course, ghosts happen. Scary ghosts.
This movie is filled with jumpscares, most of them at the beginning. But it also has lots of really scary moments where we don't need a jump. Also, while in most cases there is a fake jumpscare with a cat just to make people jump before we see the monster for the first time (see Alien and 1000 other movies), but in this movie the cat actually is scary.
Also the sounds the ghost woman makes is really scary. All in all this is a scary movie.
The acting isn't special, nothing to note. The story is a little confusing at first but it all makes sense.
I need to get my hands on the original so I can compare it, maybe then I'll hate it who knows.
So all in all it's a fun horror movie that is really scary at most parts. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
