An Exciting Mix of Horror and Great Storyline

Rating: 9/10 (28 March 2006)

although I haven't seen the original, I must say that as a horror fan this film was great. The storyline mixed with the extensive gore scenes kept me on the edge of my seat. I found that it was lacking in jump scenes, only one scene really made me jump back, but it made up for it with not holding back anything, showing every gruesome detail and the special effects were amazing. I'm kind of sorry I didn't see the original before seeing this, I usually try to see where the movies are coming from either by watching the originals or reading the books, but all of that aside I give this movie two thumbs up for one of the best horrors so far in 2006. A must see to any and all fans of the horror genre and kudos to Aja on a great film and I am expecting great things in the future
