i thought it was good..


i actually really liked this movie. it had a good plot and kept you guessing. The end was kinda strange but i thought it was a good way to end the movie. I cant believe in America is PG 13 in ireland its 18's!

See the original first. Then you'll see how ridiculous the remake is. Either that, or you simply have little to no experience with horror movies.

I thought it was ok as well - some of the scenes were very well done. I especially liked the scene in the dark-room when he thinks his wife touches his face and then the phone rings and it's his wife!

Good creepy stuff! The plot twists whilst predictable created tension and I thought the film was well paced and the ending very satisfying.

Having said this, I don't watch much horror movies and haven't seen the original. I'll take it as a given that the original is *way* better, but I think this movie has been slightly underated.

Cheers,

Me too. It was not great, but it held up well I thought. It was creepy and atmospheric, and I found some of the images disturbing.

this movie was surprisingly decent - it would say a 6/10 overall- on a typical 4 star movie scale i would say 2.5/4. For a Pg-13 type of horror film it was really good - even though ppl are sayig it was predictable i thought it had some interesting plot twists

I liked it a lot too. I don't understand why everyone hates it. I haven't seen the original but I thought this one was pretty good on its own. You actually know why the ghost is angry/evil, unlike other movies like The Ring (which I thought was extremely overrated). And the ending image I will remember for a long time! So creepy.
