I actually forgot that, I saw this, I noticed I did mark it 3 out of 10 after I saw, I was actually forgot to review. I am trying to remember, any good scenes from movie but I am drawing blank.This movie is very forgettable and only saw it 2 weeks ago and the movie didn't not have any creepy moment. And they try to scace us , with One second Jump scenes, that don't seem to work.I not sure what happened at the end of the movie, I know hour into the movie and I nodded off and woke up again with credits were on. If you looking forward for Nap , Give this movie a watch as it help you sleep! 3 out of 10 , I won't be seeing the remake, any time soon

The movie was not the same as 1408, it did not even have anything to do with 13th floor being the scariest of all hotels. It was just about a sick mother who failed to care for her child and abuse her. They did not even explain why she became that way when she was a teen or how it had anything to do with the 1302 mother and child when it looked nothing like them when they were being shown, maybe its because its how the book described ? and where did mariko's mother go it would have been a better ending if they got the mother to save her falling off the building and the curse of the sick mother and daughter be uplifted and the mother would learn to see the other daughter but, it just never made sense where she went or is this even related to a Japanese folkore because it certainly did not make sense. The lead should not have been killed. I give it a 5, but do not recommend it rather watch Rattle Rattle. The actress was hot though.

Sayaka is the new tenant of the fated Apartment 1303. After moving into her new apartment-which she got at a discounted price (sound familiar?), Sayaka kicks things off with a party. After visiting the "Tatami room," she entertains her guests by eating dog food off the floor and donning a motorcycle helmet(?), she then leaps off the thirteen floor, plunging to her death.Sayaka's sister Mariko (Noriko Nakagoshi), is puzzled by her sisters sudden suicide. After some extremely long grieving scenes, Mariko decides to do some detective work. She quickly finds out that Sayaka was the fifth woman to die in the apartment, all of who died under similar circumstances. Her journey leads her to the apartment as well as a detective (Arata Furuta) who-for once-believes Mariko's story. Independently, the two set out to unravel the mystery of Apartment 1303 while trying not to become it's next victims.After watching the first few opening scenes in this movie, I thought this might be good. It seemed as if the director was doing kind of a parody of J-Horror. The death of Sayaka seemed to be ringed with campy overtones. From the goofy faces the characters made to the way things were overacted just a bit, to the weird death scene. Alas, it was not to be, besides the opening and a few scenes toward the end (which kind of reminded of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead 2... in style only) 1303 then degenerates into the typical J-horror flick, riddled with genre cliché's. Yes, this film has them all; scary dreams, phone calls from dead girls, a grudge type curse, a long haired vengeful ghost, and of course, the obligatory creepy little girl. Everything in this film is a mix of previous Asian horror films as Director Ataru Oikawa brings nothing new to the genre. I wish he would have followed the goofy beginning to it's logical next step (A spoof movie of Asian horror would be great if done right) but Oikawa instead elects to follow paths already forged out in J-Horror. Bottom Line- For genre fans only. Same old song and dance.

This is another ghost story from Japan. Mariko investigates about the suicide of her sister who lived in this Apartment 1303... and do you want to know all the rest? Everything in this movie is obvious and after 5 minutes from the begin, we easily know what it will happen in the rest of the movie. It doesn't scare too much, maybe because i begin to be tired of these ghost Japanese children... Innovation is finished some years ago and there is nothing much to save about this plot: maybe just the last minutes of the movie give some "scare" . At least, the actors are decent. My vote is 4 and as you can guess, I don't recommend it.
