It's very interesting watching the American version as well and noticing the differences and similarities. Both are phenomenal films because the central story is so interesting. 5 skulls, would make a copy and should someone else.
I enjoyed this movie, solid watch.
I have always wanted to watch this after growing up with the American version! It would be a massive disservice to both movies to try and compare them to each other. This movie feels more like an investigation than a creepy story, which wasn't my cup of tea, but it was great nonetheless!
the perfect horror movie if you're looking for something with substance, feeling, and suspense. if you're expecting cheap jump scares and gratuitous gore, this is not the film for you. but if you're in search of something with incredible storytelling, an antagonist you can sympathize with, and beautiful cinematography, look no further. this film ignited my passion for horror. sadako is a vengeful weirdo but shes MY vengeful weirdo
A classic, nothing more need be said.
