As I've watched Asian horror films and their remakes over the years, I've noticed a rather similar theme they all share: almost all of them feature vengeful ghosts that cannot be stopped by any means short of appeasement or avoidance. They possess these god-like, supernatural powers, cause nothing but death in their wake, very rarely receive their comeuppance, and they create misery in their wake. Even more frightening, all of their victims who become ghosts, seem powerless to stop them.
For example, Natasha from Dark Water not only claims Dahlia's soul, but seems to be able to be possessive over her, controlling her. Dahlia seems completely powerless to stop Natasha from using her supernatural powers or at least render them ineffective, even in death. Why is that? If Natasha's just another human soul, how does she have THAT kind of power over another human soul????
