Joyû-rei

This Japanese horror film, originally called 'Joyû-rei' and was one of the first films directed by Hideo Nakata of 'Ringu' or 'The Ring' fame, has its fair share of truly creepy and unsettling moments. However, the ending was way too rushed and unfulfilling for this film to merit a higher ranking, in my opinion.

Having said that, I still believe that this spooky Japanese film ought to have more recognition not only for historical reasons because of the similarities to 'Ringu' and as the director Hideo Nakata's first real film but also because it gets some things better than modern horror films.
