Whoever thought of remaking this Asian horror movie, wait let me make my statement more clear… Whoever thought of remaking this FILIPINO HORROR MOVIE should be cast away from the movie-making business. Now our tourism will go down and aspiring Filipino artists will never make it out of the Philippines. Thanks, Yam Laranas, for furthering the shame our horror movies already possess.
Okay so I’m not sure that I will be a realistic judge of this film. All I know is Jesse Bradford is so freaking hot in this movie it’s hard for me to see anything else. But as for the little scares here and there they made me jump a few times and I found the story line interesting. A young man right out of prison takes over his deceased mother’s apartment only to discover it’s haunted by vicious ghosts. I mean if I’m being honest we’ve seen this before really well (the ring, grudge) and really horrible (shutter, grudge 2) so this falls right in the middle. It’s got some really good moments and some mediocre ones and Jesse Bradford sporting a gorgeous bod and playing a little bit of a tough guy with a heart which he does pretty well with. This is a remake of a thai film I haven’t seen so I can’t judge it against that. But as for this movie I don’t seen any reason why this couldn’t have gone to theaters especially when horrible films like the unborn and jennifer’s body do.
Definitely one of the best asian remakes. Moody, with good performances and a great location. Much better than remakes such as ‘The Eye’, ‘One Missed Call’ etc.
This movie is familair to 1408, but def not nearly as good as 1408. It had a very good concept to the movie, but there could have been more to the actually story that could have made this better. I am giving this movie a 6/10. This is a movie I would not spend money on to buy, there was a lot of things that I believe that could have been expanded on and possibly explained a little bit better. Like why the girl could see the little girl and the mother and father, but no one else could, and what exactly happened to the neighbour, and why he could also see them? Overall a decent movie, but giving a low score for the lack of explanations.
This remake improves a little bit on the original and is far more better filmed and managed to be creepier. I thought the performances were pretty good and modest but nothing that packs a punch and if you seen the original you pretty much know what’s going to happen and what is going to be the outcome in the end so they pretty much didn’t add anything new or major to the story. I never thought anything about it was all that scary or terrifying just creepy, chilling and atmospheric and when all is said and done it’s just another american horror remake but one of the more decent ones and one of the slickest ones out there but nothing groundbreaking. Overall if you are still not sick of asian supernatural/horror like movies that’s low on gore and high on chills and atmosphere and if you enjoyed the film 100 feet here you go, just don’t expect anything new or unique. Worth a rental.
Interesting take on a ghost story. Very effective audio effects.
Not a good remake, seems interesting at first but then it decays as the movie progresses.
It seems that this movie lacks in all aspects, it seems unfinished, poorly worked some respects, turning it into a forgettable film.
