No wonder Hollywood directors are always in a hurry to film their remake of “Asian classics,” such as “The Ring” or “The Grudge.” However, the American versions are not as creepy. And it’s not about the graphics, “meat” and “screamers”, but about the special and unique atmosphere of fear and tension that only filmmakers from the Far East can create.
