I saw it in Octoberand was horribly disappointed. Actually, that's too weak - I was furious. I left the film ranting at what utter shit it was. Maybe, had I not seen the original, I wouldn't have felt so much hatred toward the remake. I'd go on, but it would become a 400 page spoiler filled rant about how the film lacks subtlety and how the American film industry destroys everything it touches by dumb-ening things down for the idiot mall culture hillbilly film goers.

They've not seen the original? Payola? Threats from the studio?The images from the Samara (Sadako) video are intersting/creepy, I guess.
Some of the film is intersting to look at, but in a cliche blue filter and dutch angle kind of way.
(Sorry, I'm having a difficult time finding anything nice to say about this film, and I know there's talk of a sequel being made as well)
