Typical shallow horror movie

Rating: 3/10 (23 April 2006)

I'm not going to go into great depth about why this movie is an unnessesary addition to the terrible movies of the 21st century, but that is just what this is. This movie lacked every element that makes movies. For one, its a horror movie, and it was not scary to the slightest. It was obnoxious and trying to hard to be disturbing. Second, just because you throw a creepy 8 year old in a movie doesn't make it the next sixth sense. It stopped being original after the ring butchered it, stop using kids as a fear tactic. Last, the story, characters and dialogue were extraordinarily weak and cumbersome. This is the type of movie that makes me feel like Hollywood could have taken the money it took to make it and given it to a charity or something, it was that unnessesary of a film. I can understand if you liked the video game, but I mean come on, they didn't even try and make it the least bit original or intriguing. Don't waste your money, or time.
