Ever play Fatal Frame?

Rating: 8/10 (24 October 2002)

I liked this movie a lot, which says a lot because I don't like much. Very critical. This movie had a great story line, great cast and near perfect pop-outs. The only complaint on those is that they were CONSTANT. EVERY scene change started with a loud (yet innocent) bang that became redundant and annoying. Some parts were very predictable, some were not. You'd better hope they ALL are because when the big ones come, they will DISTURB you. The images will stay with you as the last thing you see before you fall asleep. But that's what makes a horror movie great! I'm asked if it was scary and all I can say is yes, but in my defense of not sounding like a COMPLETE coward, it's a fun scary for you macho guys. You'll get scared no matter who you are, but you'll like it. Bring someone with you, or the ride home will be pretty rough all by yourself.
The spoilers end so keep scrolling. S P O I L E R S !

The ending was somewhat lacking. She makes a copy and the curse is lifted? Didn't do much for me. I won't argue that Samara coming out of the TV wasn't arguably the most terrifying scene in the movie, but I think Rachel holding Samara's corpse and somewhat "setting the spirit free" was a good ending.

Fatal Frame is a game for PS2 based on real events that happened in a mansion in Japan. For those that have played it, there's a scene at the end of the game when Kirie comes out of a mirror. Kirie is a long, dark-haired Japanese ghost who wears a white kimono. (See the similarities?) So the TV ending didn't do as much to me as it could've.
END S P O I L E R S Whether you've mastered Fatal Frame, are known as fearless, or cower at the sight of a spider, The Ring will be tons of fun and keep you jumping.
