Trivia: This Japanese horror film, and its 2005 American remake, are notable for having eerie similarities to a real-life case. Elisa Lam was a student who disappeared in Los Angeles in 2013. Her body was later found in a water-tank at the hotel where she was staying after other guests complained their water was discolored and had a strange taste. A security tape featuring a distressed Lam was also released to the public. To this day, the circumstances of Lam's death remain partially unknown, and there are many conspiracy theories revolving around the case.
