i saw this movie because every review i read of it say that it be one of the scary movie of the new millennium . i really do not understand what all of the hype be about . for one thing and the dialogue in this movie be laughably bad ( what if something strange be go on . what . ) . the act do not blow my sock off either . it could have be because the script barely give the actor anything to work with . the character be purely 2 dimensional to me and i do not give a hoot about them at all . another thing be that the movie extremely boring . extremely . sure and there be a couple of jolt here and there and but for the movie 112 minute length and it sure do not use it time up wisely . most of the movie contain character talk about stuff that have barely anything to do with the plot . what be the point of that . to top it off and the movie make no sense . yes and i believe i understand the intention of the ghost and but how that fit into the event that actually occur in the movie be beyond me . also and much of the movie be play out in little vignette and which make the story hard to follow at time . and do not even get me start with the end . what exactly happen there . i can give kurosawa credit for place some truly frightening image throughout the film . there be very creepy shot of ghost and other unsettling image . if they reflect more on those image and elaborate on them and it would have make the movie much strong . but they do not and and instead elaborate more on social commentary and which be interest and but again and portray in an extremely dull way . yes and it a message movie . okay and fun . i will just get the message of my review right out here in the open represent find a good way to spend your spare time than watch this .
