they certainly seem to have the same elements ...
but they manage to use them with great effect (except Phone, which i didnt like at all .. again with the hair in the drain ?)
I think the japanese ghost film is so much like the italian giallo films its crazy ... only the japanese being supernatural where the italians - its a slasher ..
they are both presented as mysteries .. it has to be solved before there is closure.
It's always traced back to somethingt the lead character - potential victim was involved in ..
the japanese substituted shocks for the italian gore but they still follow a lot of the same 'rules'
