If you've seen the Grudge, and you've seen the Ring, you've seen this movie too. It offers nothing original. It's slow moving and never seems to go anywhere. As far as being part of "Horrorfest", which claims to be a collection of 8 movies too scary to be seen by the general public, I'd like to call "bull*&$%" on whoever decided to advertise it that way. I felt like I was watching a Japanese take on Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video, "Child's Play", "The Shining" and "Gothika" (which I never actually saw but hear is quite awful). This, to say the least, turned out to be a great recipe for boredom. It also goes without saying that the "twist" (which has saved many movies from a review like this) does very little in terms of redeeming the lackluster 80 minutes of the movie that precede it. If you want to watch a good Japanese horror movie, it's a much safer bet to watch "TheAudition" or even "Battle Royale." Hell, skip both of those and just go rent "Old Boy." Now there is a good movie.
