watched both versions for those movies. The Japanese versions as well as the American versions. I can say honestly that the Japanese versions were much scary than the American ones. Something like the Grudge the Japanese version ... I was staying alone in the datk with my headset on my ears and for sometime .. I felt like someone was putting her face near mine ... and I was like wooooow .. Switch on the light and let's this crazy night ends with the less brain damage that we can get here :)
