Oh, a marketing person! I'll answer your questions very succinctly: the Japanese versions are superior in every aspect, and the current influx of remakes in Hollywood says nothing to me aside from proving its own dearth of ideas.

Like Chan-wook Park said: "The only problem I have is with remakes. People need to make a movie different when they remake it-if they just change the language of the characters or the country, that's just pathetic."

If not better. One of the coolest horror movies I've seen in a long time. I was kinda put off by Buffy being in it, but I soon got over that. The director got to improve on a few things he did in the original. Didn't really get into the sequel and I think I'm over the whole Japense ghost story deal nowdays. I watched Dark Water last night and thought it was pretty weak.
