I don't know; it just didn't do much for me. I felt it lingered *far* too long on stuff that neither advanced the plot nor truly built the characters or atmosphere. It's not that I can't handle slower, more suggestive movies. I liked "The Innocents", "The Others", "Ringu"... But this was too slow even for me. I will admit that the ending was pretty chilling, though.
Also, the sequence of ghostly sounds was frightening at first, but was repeated so often -in it's entirety- that it lost much of it's impact.
A lot of people seem to love this movie, so you might as well check it out, but my opinion of it falls on the "mediocre" end of the scale.
