Sleeper hit that led to a wave of remakes of Japanese horror films & two vastly inferior sequels. A very creepy film on first watch if you are unfamiliar with the originals. Has a dreary & grim atmosphere with unsettling sound design, & gets pretty intense for a PG-13 horror at the time. Leaves some ambiguity (& plot holes) about the “how” everything is taking place, which the original films dive deeper into. I criticize some dumb character moves & ineffective CGI in certain sequences.
