Interesting concept and at times chilling, but not necessarily scary.

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 1999)

Well, after reading multiple professional and personal movie reviews and talking to friends that had seen the movie, I am convinced that I knew too much. Not too much about the movie itself, but too much about how people perceived the movie. The overwhelming number of people who were scared beyond any previous movie experience had set my expectations souring. This emotional predisposition, coupled with the scattered facts that I did know about the movie, caused me to be on the edge of my seat before the movie even started. I loved the concept of the movie, the filming style was creative and left plenty to the imagination and the acting was authentic and believable, but I was left flat on my face when looking to be scared out of my pants. Again, chilling...yes, scary......not really.
