- The film contains many such moments, but the biggest is the climactic scene in which Yoshimi, clutching a half-drowned Ikuko to her body, desperately tries to escape in the elevator, which, despite all her efforts, absolutely does not work, and shedloads of water begins to fill the elevator. Suddenly, the door to their apartment sloooowwwly begins to creak open. Yoshimi, still desperately trying to get the elevator to work and half-paralysed with terror, can only watch as the door eventually opens and out emerges the figure of... Ikuko? But wait, if that's Ikuko, then who is in the elevator with - AAAAAARRRGGGHHHOHGODDDDD.
- What makes the film work so well is the atmosphere: As the film goes on, you realize there is no one in the entire apartment complex. It's just Yoshimi and Ikuko.
- In the remake, there's stated to be at least two other known characters: the janitor/illegal handyman calls them "Asshole Steve" and "Dumb Billy".
- In the remake, when Natasha gives Ceci a dead stare in the bathtub, and when you see Ceci trying to emerge from her drowning attempt.
- Dahlia's corpse. You see her dead eye, staring at nothing.
