this film work on many level . what odd be that one place it be weak in be the plot it do somewhat tie it all up and make sense but my main point be it doesnt really matter the director set out to make a scary ghost story and that it be . i see horror film from all over the world so i be pretty jade when it come to something scar me but this film have many sequence that truly be frighten and disturb . some of the image have stay with me for week . the lighting and the art direction and the use of muted color ( aside from red use effectively ) all make up for a creepy and eerie visual . i have to laugh at the arrogance of some of the comment on this and other horror film that claim since it didnt scare them the film be not scary . that be b. s. what scar one person may not scare another . you can say the piece do not scare you but to make such a sweeping statement be vain . i personally do not like any of the friday of 13th movie and but obviously those film work on some level for million of people . this film be so non american in it pace and core that that be what might turn off some viewer and but that what i love about it . the director just set up the camera and keep it on a space and then have thing slowly emerge from the side he have you start to look and scope and wonder if you be really see something a oppose to the lazy and bloat shock moment of most u horror film . there be moment when people be confront by vision or image of ghost that move and terrorize just like real dream slow movement and awkward movement a the ghost approach you . terrify . the film definitely doesn not know how to wrap it all up but in many way and i find this film even scary than the original ring . well make ghost story . seek it out and fan .
