Whoa!

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2006)

I got to see this flick when it came out, and I had the theater mostly to myself. Unfortunately, I had to sit really close, like 2nd row because my friend couldn't see farther back and he refuses to wear glasses. This had the unfortunate result of yours truly having to watch this while being somewhat motion-sick. Not the best way to watch intense gore. I will say this, though: despite my queasiness, I really did scream in fear many times, and I almost NEVER do that in any movie. The last ones that had me cowering so were the Ringu series and Audition.(BTW, I still fear Sadako like nothing on earth.) I watched my friend play all the games before seeing the film, so that did help, but I must admit that I wanted to make that stupid woman stop yelling for her kid every 3 seconds. If I were in an evil town with demons running loose, the LAST thing I'd do is run about making lots of noise. All in all, I give it 7 out of 10. Please do NOT take ANY children to this, I had to hear some tit-bag trying to calm her screaming kids down all through it, and they were all 10 and under. Stupid git.
