A gem among the similar

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2007)

This is the definition of a thriller, not SAW or The Ring, since it actually has a story and bases everything on what the viewer already knows. People who hate this movie said it wasn't scary enough. Didn't anyone think it was a little creepy when Kale found the dead woman in the video tape? Yeah, it was necessary to the plot, otherwise his mom probably would have died.. of course another mainstream, horribly directed disaster that we see too much of today would have just flashed the image across the screen and leave you wondering what it was while you were scared out of your wits at the thing that just jumped out at you.
Where I saw it, yes, people screamed. It was a disturbing movie indeed, but better than many I have seen.
