unearned high praise

Rating: 6/10 (24 August 2003)

This film is entertaining and makes you jump a little, but the reason it received such praise is that it's very similar to original and creative movies such as The Sixth Sense and The Usual Suspects. The filmmakers have done a really good job of copying excellent ghost story movies and movies with twisted endings and thus have made a movie whose praise is piggy-backing on the praise of other movies that have really deserved it.
