Scratch my other thread as I ended up buying this instead of renting it. I watched it for the first time just now mainly because of the hype. I have seen the American remake and as well as the sequel. I had high expectations for this film and I was in shock at how disappointing this was. I'm not one to bring down a movie and be a dick. I just want to understand what the hype is about.

To get the best affect, I watched it in my basement with surround sound and there were 2 cheap scares at the most which were only due to the amplified sound that came of nowhere. I was not once frightened in any way during this entire movie. When it first ended I actually thought I might have had the wrong version being that there are so many.

If someone could explain why this is rated one of the greatest horror movies of all time, at least in the J-Horror category, I would appreciate it because I'm bedazzled. The only slight scares came from the overly used "lets make it quiet and blast the sound out nowhere to get you to jump" routine.

The whole psychic powers gig made this movie even worse, turning it into Sci-Fi, an add-on which was completely unnecessary. Hell, I can't think of anything in this movie was a plus, I'm still in shock at how awful this was......
