There is no Gaya, no meows, and Junxiong's role is changed to a little girl. The whole film is full of the visual impact of corrupt corpses, flies, maggots, and a lot of blood spurting. It feels no horror at all, just a bit disgusting.
Retaining the horrible quack of kayako, this is the essence of the grievance. But it’s not a female ghost who makes such a cry, but a male ghost~ This is embarrassing
The film mentions the police officer Nakagawa and Yoko (the chin-less nanny) in the early American version of the grievance taken by Takashi Shimizu, but the victims of the haunted house have nothing to do with the original version, nor does it mention Keren and Aubrey.
The spectacle man's killing of his wife is a re-enactment of Gangxiong's killing of Gayako. But it’s not because of wearing a green hat to kill, but the man with glasses hits evil
As for the funeral home staff responsible for euthanasia, the role of Li Jia was reproduced. But in the end I broke my hands in a car accident. This scene is a bit scary.
In order to stop the spread of the grievances, the house was burned with gasoline in the end, which is a continuation of the original plot.
The reason why this film is completely American-style is because it did not grasp the extreme horror brought by the Japanese grievances. The original plot has been changed and changed again (the same as the previous American version of Midnight Ring Sadako changed to Samara), constantly using jump scary to make a semi-finished horror movie
Watching this movie is purely for watching Lin Shaye, because she is known as the "ghost movie queen", and she became popular with the Yinerfang series before! But this movie will inevitably be a bit disappointing... The crazy woman played by Lin Shaye in the film corresponds to the grandmother Xingzhi in the original Japanese version. But her way of death was even more terrifying than Granny Xingzhi, she fell from the stairs and was full of brains, and Granny Xingzhi was frightened to death by Kayako.
