The 2008 American remake
- The Danza: Megumi Okina as Megumi Tanaka. According to the director, Masayuki Ochiai, the role was written specifically for her; Okina was the female lead in Ju-on: The Grudge, which Ochiai loved. He went on to direct two Ju-on films.
- Fake American: Rachael Taylor (Jane) is Australian.
- Fake Nationality: James Kyson is a Korean American playing a Japanese.
- Not Screened for Critics: The film was not screened for critics, who had nothing positive to say about it.
- Trend Killer: The US remake of this, as well as those of One Missed Call and The Eye, marked the end of the trend of J-horror remakes. Attempts to relaunch the trend have all failed.
