I suggest watching a Japanese ghost movie instead.

Rating: 1/10 (1 September 2008)

One of the most pointless movies I have ever seen.
I do not understand the critics love. There was nothing new here, whatsoever. If you have seen The Grudge, The Ring, or any other Asian horror movie, you know exactly what is going to happen in the movieand the movies it ripped off. There are nods to everything from The Exorcist to The Shining, but the movie itself doesn't even live up to half the potential the movies it took its ideas from had.
If it had come out 20 years ago, then it would have been decent. But after seeing a hundred other movies just like it, I don't see the point it was made. Clicking sounds coming from a little kid? The Ring mixed with The Grudge. Masked dances? The Shining. There was not a single scene in the movie that has not been in some horror movie before in some way. Instead of leaving the theater feeling scared, I left almost laughing at how unoriginal the movie was.
And my last complaint was why on earth this movie was rated R. I've literally seen PG-rated movies with more violence and mature/disturbing content.
If you have some weird desire to relive the same sad movie plot you've heard more times than even the predictable romantic comedy plots, watch this and maybe you'll come to see how predictable and bland your movie taste really is. If you want a genuinely scary ghost movie, go watch a Japanese movie like "Dark Water" or "Ringu".
