Glorious fun, especially the Bill Murray cameo; I hope there’s a sequel. 4/5

Good ghost story, competently done. 3.5/5

This is basically an extremely good horror film with a lot of social criticism comfortably embedded within it. However, for me, it was spoiled by a hateful ending which I found cheap, cynical and gratuitously nihilistic. It is as if Frank Darabont wanted to remake Shawshank, except as a negative. 4/5

Really good, solid, non-stupid supernatural thriller. 4/5

I’m sure I watched this when it first came out, but caught it when I was being a vegetable in front of the TV one evening last week. Holds up quite well really. 3/5

Began well but then faded to mundanity. 3/5

Heart-rending but amazingly good.
4.5/5

Some excellently scary moments but the film as a whole was garbage. I haven’t seen the original (English or Japanese) and I doubt that I now will (I only watched this one because of an accidental set of circumstances, otherwise I’d have made sure I watched them in order).
3/5

Better than expected thriller/horror, mainly due to good acting from the lead actress.

3.5/5
