Hype Better Than Real Thing

Rating: 2/10 (10 August 2001)

I'll try to comment without spoiling anything. I consider myself a very big fan of movies, horror and thriller particularly. So when I saw the ads for this movie I thought, finally a good psychological, scary movie. There's been so much said about the "surprise ending". I'll say this, if you don't see the ending coming half way through this movie, or sooner, then your dumber than a post (and that's insulting dead wood). The visuals of this movie were nice and there were a few "boo" parts that left a few giggling with nervous laughter in the theatre after they were scared, but on the whole I was disappointed that the ending was broadcast so far in advance. My recommendation, wait for the rental or better yet cable or rent the original version of The Haunting, The Haunting of Hill House or The Haunting with Liam Neeson (a bad version but still more scary than The Others).
