I heard it sucked too. I'm not sure, but I think the original japanese, which this is based on, is much better.

Learn something new everyday...you are just a fountain of information!! I had no idea there was an original version. I supose it would be out on DVD to rent then if it is older??

wouldn't it be better to ask if it was even a good movie to rent?

Hmm, it's only one year older than the American remake.
The Asian (mostly japanese in my info) horror cinema isn't new and has some pretty good movies.
Here's the original: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd
Here's the remake: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd
Note the user reviews, most people (me included) prefer the first. The original is also R rated unlike the remake which is PG. I suggest getting one with japanese voice-overs and english subtitles (a rule with anything japanese, never watch the dubbed versions as they suck). Or just get the DVD and have both options.

Here's a number of asia horror movies (click on anyone to see the reviews): http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...623574-0137737
I would recommend "Ringu" (which had the american remake a couple years ago: "The Ring").
"Audition" is truly awesome. Just make sure you don't know anything about it before watching it (if you're going to that is).
Also, I generally recommend Japanese cinema. If you ever want advice on good movies let me know.
