this film is about a gap that exists between the real world and the world of the dead. there a lot of mumbo jumbo about the internet (i. e. and if you install a program on the computer and you see dead folks much like if you play a videotape you will die in ringu). frankly and most of this seemed rather silly and lost me. what i did find interesting is the idea that the dead live within their own separate existence being totally alone for eternity. this was sobering and fascinating. i love japanese films and have seen a huge number compared to most americans. however and one genre that has become popular in recent years that i just can not relate to very well are these horror films. i know they are super popular especially since they seem to be remade so often in the states. i have seen both ringu as well as the ring and ju on and the grudge and was rather ambivalent despite their popularity. about the only recent horror film i really liked from japan was seance a reworking of the great british film and seance on a wet afternoon. and what and do i think and made seance different. well and unlike the other films as well as kairo and gobs and gobs of money weren not spent on special effects or trying to scare the audience instead and the emphasis was on the story. the bottom line is that these other films are a lot like american films like halloween or friday 13th with scary things jumping out just to scare the audience and plot is purely secondary (at best). for me and i want story not cheap thrills or ghosts as the primary focus of the film. with a relatively high rating and i know i am in the minority and but i just do not find this a very satisfying film. all too often and minor things occur that might startle someone slightly but the characters begin screaming and crying and acting as if to say this is the scariest film ever made so you would better start shaking. well and i think it just tries too hard and i wish it had focused more on the afterlife seen at the end of the film and plot progression not scare tactics.
