Good plot and depth keep this movie alive

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2002)

I was also one of the many who thought this movie would suck, but I was pleasantly wrong in my original thought. The first ten minutes, while poor in acting, give you a sense of fear and wonder as to what the tape and the girls death have to do with each other. Why does this tape make you die? What follows is a great suspense story with a truely unique style that will keep you guessing until the end. Granted, we never do find out who made the tape, but it's cool to see the main characters explore and go deeper into the meaning behind it. There are some great special effects (the girl coming out of the TV was especially freaky) and the ending is truely ambiguous in that you don't really know what to think. I love movies where the good guys win, but the bad guys win too. Watch this film and pray that they make the sequel and prequel as they did with the Japanese version Ringu.
