I don't know what to really say about this movie. This was originally a Japanese horror flick and this version was then remade by the same director. It may have been original back in the day...but after the "revolution" of Japanese remakes in America it just seemed bland and waste of money and talent.

This movie stars Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek, Cursed, Fringe, etc) and Rachael Taylor (See No Evil, Transformers) as a newly wed couple who move to Japan for his work and they get in an accident and suddenly they are haunted by a spirit who comes to them in the fashion of Spirit Photography (http://www.prairieghosts.com/ph_history.html). Fun concept...but the actual movie just seemed bland and not well executed. It did not really hold my attention and I did a number of other things.

This movie I would have to give about 2 out of 5 stars because even though I did not really like this flick, it was nicely shot and edited and I have seen much worse movies.
