Dark Water -- I'm not a huge fan of the Americanized version, but I liked this one. The little girl who played Ikuko was really good, and I recognized a few actors from other J-horror movies I've seen. I'm not sure about the ending, however. I'm not saying the American version's was better, but the Japanese version seemed to try to tie up too many loose ends. It was rather bittersweet, so it wasn't a "happy" ending. Of course, I'm one of those "weirdos" who likes it when a movie doesn't end exactly the way I want, and this movie didn't come anywhere near ending the way I wanted.
