Great Movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2002)

The movie scared me to death, and that's why I liked it so much. The shadows and coloring gave the spooky effect that the movie needed. The camera never went crazy, and it never did do those annoying close ups like so many other horror films, where it's as if the camera is eating the person or something. The music was very eerie and spooky. The only thing I didn't like was the way Nichole Kidman would whisper, than I would have to turn up the volume. The next thing you know, they would be screaming, or loud music would be playing and it would be way too loud. Finally I gave up, and just put it on captions. The sound quality might be a problem for people who buy the movie on VHS. Keep that in mind incase you want to buy the movie. Of course if you don't like loud startling sounds in horror movies, the DVD player would be the way to go. Other wise, it's a wonderfully scary movie, that proves you don't need blood in a horror movie just to make it scary.
