ANyone find this not scary at all?

I'm not a big watcher of horror films, but mate hontesly, this wasen't scary at all. I get freaked out easily and stuff, which is the reason why I usually avoice horrors but I stayed the night at a mates and thought I'd see but it didn't freak me out one bit. The only part that freaked me out was when that asian chick went on the bed and took her dress thing off to reveal all those scars and maggots and whatever the bloody hell it was on her body.

But I dunno, did it seem not scary to you guys?

Maybe becuase so many things in this film were cliche from japenese horrors, like the generic 'ghost girl with black hair looking, downwards and then looking up at you' that I didn't find it freaky, but I mean still.... I was like eh??

True - I find all the spelling and grammatical errors in your post far more frightening than the film.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings.

Didn't scare me at all either. Even though usually Japanese horror films or the ones situated in Japan like The Grudge (and the original Ju-On) and Ringu scared the sh*t out of me because...I don't know actually, maybe I just have a phobia for the Japanese! (I'm saying this as a horror-freak, I've seen so many already!)
But this one just didn't do anything. Ghost wasn't scary, the effects weren't scary and most of all: I figured out the guy had to have done something wrong to this ghost lady within about 10 to 15 minutes after the movie started. And wow surprise, surprise, turned out he had! Very predictable storyline! Or maybe it's just because all of these kind of Asian 'ghost lady films' are about, well, vengeful crazy ass ghost ladies!
Still thinking about trying to find the original version though, maybe that one is scarier.

Literally copy+paste for me. On top of that I was under the impression this movie would be disturbing (like Serbian disturbing).

Tried to enjoy this, but it was lacking on so many levels, primarily an element of fear that this kind of film should instil in the viewer.
