Review:
We bought this with the hope that it would be a decent movie, and it was! It has the typical Asian "scary" objects, like: water, long, black hair, etc...
But for some reason, this over-play of these movie characteristics aren't tiring me. Not like bad teen-movies.

This movie is very confusing. Not with flashbacks, but by plot. And it isn't too bad until the very end, like the last 10 minutes or so - it gets very confusing. If you are confused by the movie ending or check out the Internet Movie Database. But the movie is much easier to understand the second time watching it. So if you watched it once and wasn't convinced, I suggest to see it again!

It wasn't a perfect movie, there are some questions within the plot structure. But all-in-all I think this was an okay film.
