Has anyone seen this movie? I am watching it now, and am 10:28 in. I am loving to death the atmosphere, and look of the set/scenery outdoors. Hopefully I don't wind up disappointed, but late autumn rainy city days were always my favorite; thus, I'm sucked into this movie as a comforted person prior to anything especially horrific at all happening. I would hope this is intentional as it leaves an audience extremely vulnerable, but then again it's a Japanese remake so who knows how bad it might suck anyway. Anyway, tell me what you thought of it!

Well, I can't really say I was disappointed, but I don't think I really got any pay-out either. The atmosphere that I was enjoying so much sort of got replaced, and became something you only saw in interspersed establishing shots. As for scares, I'm sure plenty of people would hate this movie as it has almost none. They opt instead to creep you out almost exclusively with atmosphere, but, like I said, the atmosphere itself sort of gets a mulligan as the movie progresses; thus, I don't really think they built up an atmosphere that could get under your skin. Instead it seems like they forced an atmosphere to fit what they had to work with in terms of story, which meant the story reliant on the atmosphere was accompanied by an atmosphere that was relying on the story. Like a dog chasing its tail. In the end, though, I can't say I didn't enjoy it.
