Except the concept is ridiculous. Theres no conflict/resolution that a good story needs. Its just dumb: You go into the scary house, then you die no matter what, no avoiding it. Weak. This goes over better as a spooky story someone tells over a camp-fire rather than a throw away movie. I even saw the original and thought it was equally weak. More so it is (as with most "cult" japanese cinema) scary for the sake of being scary, nothing more.
Check it out if you want a few good shocks, nothing more.
