For me, it has to be “Old Boy” which is originally a Korean movie but the US version sucks so much that it remains incomparable. Another contender is “The Ring” again a Japanese movie (the ending differs between both versions, as the original one refers to the protagonist’s father sacrificing himself but the remake states that the cursed tape is being sent to someone else, passing the omen towards another stranger).
Oh, that explains that one then.
Yeh :3
It also helps that he had the foresight to cast Naomi Watts. She is, to this day, one of the most underrated actresses in Hollywood. I will always give a movie a chance if she’s in it. She always delivers even if the movie is trash.
