Ju-On is wonderful so my hopes for this are high. My mother told me is was by the same director which boosted them even higher...though I'm doubtful she's right...

She's right. Ju-On and the remake have the same director. If you can, check out the E! Behind the Scenes. It's pretty good.. has interviews with the director, three of the actors and Sam Raimi.

Basically it's about the superstition that when someone dies in a state of terror and confusion (which, to me, would be an awful lot of people) there's a stain on the environment. Anyone who enters that environment is subject to that grudge and the revenge the deceased person is taking for dying in such an awful way.

It explains it in the trailer.

OMG,OMG,OMG!! IT starts today!!! I'm I Excited?? HELL YES !!! :D

Waits for the download.....no way im paying for it...

So...did anyone see it yet?

just watched it...was pretty good but i hate the ending.

It was awsome and the ending was really cool.

I'm gunna go see it today, I can't wait!

the ending was ok i guess, but it kinda reminded me too much of the ring. but over all a really good movie.
