the recent history of hollywood remake of ghost or horror film from the east have be dismal . this film will inevitably suffer the same fate and so get a copy on e bay or similar . it be well photograph and the sound be superb . view on a good screen and with a good 5 . 1 or dts enable sound system be recommend . obviously it be subtitle and so if that put you off and then i wouldn not bother with this . dub rarely work and simply would not do here . it be also genuinely frighten and with excellent performance from a cast who will be unfamiliar to western audience . i would particularly single out the stepmother character and who be utterly brilliant . the end will have you want to watch it again and if you can cope . the plot be relentless and and offer no comfort moment of release along the way . if i do have a small criticism and there be perhaps a detectable influence in certain scene from the japanese version of the ring . we have and however and accept straight copy of other people idea for western film for year and and so my point be a limited one which do not prevent me from give it positive . i believe most fan of this genre will derive huge pleasure from this film which i for one hope go down a a classic .
