This is "Noroi: The Curse". I had heard it was one of the scarier Japanese horrors and it lived up to expectations.
I was on edge throughout even though it wasn't one scare after another, but there are definitely some hide-your-face-behind-the-pillow moments. I didn't sleep well the night I watched this.
I remember whenever I was younger sitting in my new, empty house on the floor of my room watching this movie and wow did it have an impact. I thought it was terrifying at the time, and even though it falls to pieces towards the second half, it's a good viewing.
This one has a pretty good atmosphere, but there is quite a slow build up in it. However, I wasn't put off by this as it held my attention and, overall, it's a great watch.
How'd I describe it? Well there's a crazy wife and creepy mutant children.
If you go in with the high hopes that it'll match Carpenter's The Thing then you'll surely be disappointed.
Go in with an open mind and you'll probably enjoy it. A little heavy on the CGI side, but it was a good watch and complemented one of the best horror movies of all time.

Roddy McDowall is great in this one. As was said, the ending is a little odd, but it's a strong film.Movie comment on The Stepfather

I really didn't like this one. Actually, I've nothing good to say about it, so we'll leave it with that.Movie comment on Let's Scare Jessica to Death

Like the others have said, this one is really a bore. I sat through it all hoping that it would get better, but it did not.No story, completely uninteresting characters (of which the lead is actually the worst offender) and no resolution to whatever was being built up.
I guess there's a creepy factor, but most grainy '70s horror movies leave me with that feeling for some reason.
