Um...I've seen this before

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2001)

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILER IN THIS REVIEW!! If you haven't seen it, don't read on to hear how it ends.

The sad thing is they made this movie out to be origional, thrilling and chilling. I say its kind of copied, very predictable, and I found the scariest thing was that people jumped when the most predictable thing happens. (IE if you go in the closet and the scary music starts to swell, expect someone to open the bloody door. Its not that hard to predict people, thus not scary! Give me a break already!) This movie was very "Sixth Sense" (Which was very original, had suspenseful moments, and made you jump out of your seat the whole time. Which I give a 10 out of a possible 10) In the "Sixth Sense" you had a man who thought he was the living- living among the dead, but was actually dead living amongst the living. Same concept here. They thought the "Others" possessed their house, when they were actually the possessors. I knew that less than 10 minutes into the movie it was so obvious.
I'm a Kidman fan believe it or not, but this work was beneath her. She can do so much better than what the writers gave her to work with. Kudos to her and the kids for trying to do the best job they could with a stolen, but poorly copied, script. This version was rather dull. The scariest thing was actually paying $8. a ticket to see it. Sorry, but this is a wait till video movie.
