I rarely see current Japanese movie. But I have an interest to this movie.
Light Yagami is a bright young high school student who has until recently led a boring and uneventful life. That changed very quickly when he found a strange notebook with the title "Death Note" lying on the ground one day in 2003. After realizing that the "Death Note" was a Shinigami's tool with the power to kill anyone whose name was written on its pages, Light decided to use it to "cleanse" the world of evil. And soon the many unexplainable deaths of criminals reported.......
It's weird isn't it? Check this official site and trailer. http://wwws.warnerbros.co.jp/deathnote/

That sounds really interesting! Definitely a potential "monkey's paw" situation. I hope it will be released with subtitles in the U.S.

It's Thirteen O'Clock

I guess so too. The idea is like "The Twilight Zone". So I guess Hollywood will remake this like "The Ring" and "Ju-On".

Hahaha! Maybe!
I think Sam Raimi would remake it.

Nah! This movie is not Michael Mann's type. Maybe he won't try to make horror films anymore!
POSSIBLE SPOILERS
This movie is based on a Japanese manga by the same name.
At first the idea was pretty interesting; in the first few issues you really get hooked into the story, especially how Light outsmarts the police who try to track him down. It got quite boring after L died though.
