Plan 9 from outer space is the worst movie ever. This, however, was a great j-horror/thriller. I really really really liked this movie. It was scary in some bits, plus is messed with your head.
Scarier than the shining? oO That doesn't take a lot.. teletubbies is scarier than the shining (and yes I do mean the kubrick version).
I didn't think the movie was boring at all. o.o For the first 30 mins I was expecting some generic j-horror, with a creepy girl scaring the piss out of me (and after 5 minutes, I was already covering my eyes). The movie took a turn about an hour in, and you go "oooooooh!!!" and you THINK you've got it - but you don't.
I loved the ending. If you're not used to j-horror, yes it's gonna be boring. J-horror builds up in a completely different way than hollywood-horror. F.ex Ringu vs The Ring, Ringu is slooooow and tedious and hardly scary - but it has a brilliant story, The ring scares the crap out of you every 5 minutes but the whole story is lost in it.
I recommend you watch more asian horrormovies, get used to the flow of them, then watch this movie again - cos this movie is frikken good, from the start till the end.
