* GenreKiller: The US remake of this, as well as those of ''Film/TheEye'' and ''Film/{{Shutter}}'', marked the end of the trend of J-horror remakes. Attempts to relaunch the trend have all failed. Ironically, the movie made $27 million domestically, which is more than other Asian Horror remakes like ''Shutter'' ($26 mil), ''Dark Water'' ($25 mil), and ''Pulse'' ($20 mil). It made $46 million worldwide and cost $20 million to make, so there's a decent chance it turned a profit. Part of this was due to overexposure (this was one of four major American remakes of Asian horror films in 2008) and the rise of ''Paranormal Activity'' and its found-footage ilk as the new standard of mainstream horror the next year.

* ExecutiveMeddling: One likely reason for the film's extreme critical failure. According to star Shannyn Sossamon, the decision to make the movie PG-13 was made at the last minute, after principal photography, and against the wishes of director Eric Valette. Allegedly, Valette was upset that Sossamon attended a screening of the theatrical version before getting a chance to see his version. This Director's Cut has never been released, nor have any of the scenes from it been shown.
