this film be about a gap that exist between the real world and the world of the dead . there a lot of mumbo jumbo about the internet ( i. e. and if you install a program on the computer and you see dead folk much like if you play a videotape you will die in ringu ) . frankly and most of this seem rather silly and lose me . what i do find interesting be the idea that the dead live within their own separate existence be totally alone for eternity . this be sober and fascinate . i love japanese film and have see a huge number compare to most american . however and one genre that have become popular in recent year that i just can not relate to very well be these horror film . i know they be super popular especially since they seem to be remake so often in the state . i have see both ringu as well a the ring and ju on and the grudge and be rather ambivalent despite their popularity . about the only recent horror film i really like from japan be seance a reworking of the great british film and seance on a wet afternoon . and what and do i think and make seance different . well and unlike the other film as well a kairo and gob and gob of money weren not spend on special effect or try to scare the audience instead and the emphasis be on the story . the bottom line be that these other film be a lot like american film like halloween or friday 13th with scary thing jump out just to scare the audience and plot be purely secondary ( at best ) . for me and i want story not cheap thrill or ghost a the primary focus of the film . with a relatively high rating and i know i be in the minority and but i just do not find this a very satisfying film . all too often and minor thing occur that might startle someone slightly but the character begin scream and cry and act a if to say this be the scariest film ever make so you would better start shake . well and i think it just try too hard and i wish it have focus more on the afterlife see at the end of the film and plot progression not scare tactic .
