This Ghost needs Psychiatric Care.

Rating: 5/10 (28 August 2006)

There is one common problem with Japanese horror films: the ghosts kill for no reason! This happens also in the Ju On(The Grudge) also. I mean, even Satan kills for a reason and not merely for pleasure, assuming Satan governs the underworld and set the code of conduct there. So this ghost must be very psychotic even in ghost's standard.
But the funny part is that they want to do it the hard way. I can't understand why a ghost powerful as Samara has chosen to go through such trouble as making the video tape, promulgating it, giving the victims a ring, screwing up their photos, and squeezing through the small TV set to order to creep them to death. We have to be given a good reason to accept all these crap!
And what's the rationale for being able to escape Samara's attack by copying the tape to someone else? Totally absurd!
With all these unanswered, the rest of the film becomes meaningless and irrational. As Ju On 2 did not provide these answers to Ju On 1, I doubted whether The Ring 2 will do the opposite.
Is this the culture with Japanese viewers: enjoy to be scared but don't care to know why??
