Just watched this film last night and have to say that it was the scariest 90 minutes of my life. And I've seen some scary films.
From the same director who made Ring - it follows the same formula of Little Dead Girl haunting people because she wants attention and never got a proper chance in life. However compared to Ring, this is just so much better...darker...more mysterious...and a hell of alot scarier!
A mother going through the mediations of divorce and custody over her little daughter moves with said daughter into a delapidated tenement block. However odd things start to conspire as a patch of damp on her bedroom ceiling starts spreading mysteriously across the ceiling to her bed, and both her and her daughter Ikuko start catching quite terrifying glimpses of a little wet girl in a yellow raincoat with conspicuous red bag. Slowly events conspire that drip-feed information to us about this little girl, and in a torturously creepy plot development, Ikuko and her mother are led to the apartment above theirs and eventually to the old water-tank on the roof where the mysteriously is finally uncovered and the source of the evil makes itself known.
If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend that you go watch it now. Sure it's subtitled, but that did nothing to detract the atmosphere for me. The suspense it builds easily surpases Blair Witch proportions and the nerve-shredding climax, followed by the classic not-quite-satisfying resolution, is easily as 'poo-your-pants' scary as the guy who recommended this film to me said it was.
