I've seen scarier cartoons than this movie.

Rating: 1/10 (10 August 1999)

I don't know how anyone could find this movie scary, or even remotely creepy. I was bored the entire way through. The only endearing quality was the realistic look and feel of the actors and the camera, which I must add made me especially queasy with all the jerky movement. I suppose I may have been able to get into the plot if I weren't too busy looking at the jump shots in the movie. Intentional of course, but disorienting none-the-less. At least for someone who spent their college years studying film making.
The "chilling" final shot of the movie was wholly unoriginal; the story of urban legend come true has been told countless times over.
I applaud the two film makers for a wonderful attempt. I can see how the movie might appeal to people whose idea of great television is the Jerry Springer show, or perhaps people who have a pile of cat bones in a bag and pentagrams all over their floor. But I have seen movies infinitely more chilling and well done. If you want a truly chilling movie rent Silence of the Lambs. If you want motion sickness go see The Blair Witch Project.
