Another j-horror remake that just doesn't get it. The only remake to get it, so far, has been the original Ring remake. Of course, remaking a Miike movie for the PG-13 crowd is a misstep and was doomed from the get-go. Also, for the Another j-horror remake that just doesn't get it.

Also, for the record, the original Japanese version came out in 2003, while Final Destination was released in 2000. That said, Takashi Miike probably never saw Final Destination as he was too busy pumping out four movies and a TV mini-series that year.… Expand

An awful remake of an awful Japanese Horror film. The only good part about this movie was the Exorcism scene. Quite violent for a PG-13 movie too.

I found myself laughing more times than I was feeling scared. Actually I don't think I was ever scared during the movie. Just a really crappy film.

The most shocking thing abut this movie is that anyone cared enough to go on with it's no-sense making story. An awful waste of time with cheap scares and bad acting.

Hilariously bad. The moments which were meant to be tense were laughed at by the audience. There are several things which let this movie down. Primarily, that it wasn't cut off at the storyboard stage. Some barely-believable acting Hilariously bad. The moments which were meant to be tense were laughed at by the audience. There are several things which let this movie down. Primarily, that it wasn't cut off at the storyboard stage. Some barely-believable acting earns this 1 point, but a shockingly poor story, and a production team as mind-numbingly stupid as the film's characters mean that the quite poor acting is the only thing that earns any kind of recognition from me. It's not just a not criticy movie. It's a bad one.… Expand

Just to sum it up, it's like Final Destination only stupider and with cell phones. If you hated Final Destination and hate cell phones then this movie will damn sure be on your most hated movies list.

This is like someone remaking Scary Movie and attempting to take it seriously as a horror film.

America just need to stop remaking Asian horror movies. They'll always be full of cancer and fail.

This movie stunk really bad. It wasn't scary and the plot borrowed from movies like the Final Destination and the Grudge. It was very stupid, unoriginal, and I still don't understand why all the ghosts look like Chinese people for no reason.

This is without a doubt the worst horror movie I've ever seen, and one of the worst movies I've ever seen. There are countless plot holes and inconsistencies, and it borrows heavily from The Ring; the protagonist has a certain amount of time to solve the mystery behind an urban legend before she is killed. The explanations for what was going on in the movie were so lame. Some stuff wasn't explained at all. There is also an extremely high amount of jump scares, all of which make you roll your eyes. One was so bad that the loud noise didn't match up with the "scary image". You'd think there'd at least be a little bit of tension to compensate for the lame jump scares, but there's a shortage on that too. You don't care about any of the characters because they're introduced, then killed of in about 5 minutes. You definitely want to miss this call.… Expand

I think they put a load of horror clichés, and a load of pointless "jump scares", with an already established, okay plot. It all leaves tedious film to watch. I can accept a horror film being an objectively bad film, but at least build some tension; make it scary (thankfully fear is subjective).… Expand

More like One Missed opportunity. While the original may not be a perfect horror film, but it's way way better than this movie when it comes to exaction and a pay off.

There is absolutely nothing to like about this. It replaces all of the suspense from the original film with lousy jump scares and a completely nonsensical plot. And the ring tone they use in the film isn't even scary. Not in the slightest. If you heard the ring tone in the original film, chills would definitely crawl up your spine. But not in this film. When you hear the ring tone in this film, you know that something DUMB is about to happen.

This movie completely missed the point of the original. The dude who directed it didn't even see the original before making this. I wish I could rate this movie lower but since I can't, I'll just have to settle for a 0. Movie directors who are planning to make a remake of a fantastic horror movie should take some notes from this film on how NOT to do that. Or just simply don't make the remake in general. Out of all American remakes of great Japanese horror movies, I think the only one that was any good was The Ring. The rest, such as this one... complete trash. Skip this and just watch the original. It's so... so... SO much better.… Expand
