This movie was amazing. Not only do u have a paranormal element but there is revenge being taken out by the living. The way each character is connected to the next & the mystery of each death is interesting to figure out. As the past is revealed an understanding of the main characters comes into play & makes u feel either sympathy or pity for the lead characters. I really enjoyed watching this movie & will watch it again not just for the entertainment value but to see if there was something I missed. Enjoy !~)

Horror elements that ruined the movie.

This would be such a good thriller mystery, but the extremely cheap horror ruined it. Samara meets Sadako and the killing hair. The effects and the ghost design were so bad I honestly wanted to skip all their scenes.

That said, the story itself was quite compelling. The writer was able to form a close connection of the tragic story for the female lead and the main victim of the events from the past. The story had quite a few layers and the pacing of showing them one by one was rather well executed.

It’s for sure more of an investigation than a horror though. Majority of the movie is just the detective work and solving the murder cases happening.

Arang, by the end of the runtime, presents a good, unexpected twist (tho if it was that unexpected I am not sure, since I might have just not paid that much attention to figure out the plot for myself).

The acting was great - given for such a cast.

Overall, someone should make a cut version of this movie, removing all the cheap on budget Ring moments.
