I was expecting a grudge/ring type film but its not, and its better for it. Dissapointed to see negative reviews for this. Its about Japenese culture (and wider but thats my interpretation), especially the technological aspects isolating people - friends on the internet are not real friends - and lonliness creeps up to wipe out humans. I didn't fully get the ghost realm linkage bit here, except to say that humans often live their lives as ghosts, and yes the film can be a little confusing - BUT, this stays with you and offers far more than Grudge ever could. An intelligent, poetic film.
I usually prefer the original movie to the hollywood remakes and always rent them over the new versions.
But this was a really bad movie, the dialogoue and acting was really bad. There didn't seem to be a point to this movie at all. It's pretty outdated even though recent,
I would avoid watching this one.
