Nice idea that deserved a better fate

Rating: 5/10 (1 November 2003)

Maybe I just didn't get it, as I have heard a lot of good things about this movie. The idea about a videotape that kills whoever watches it in seven days is a nice one. The actors also perform well and the main plot is nice. However, to me, there are a lot of sub-plots within the movie that appears and disappears throughout the movie that makes the movie make no sense. So instead of being frightened or held in suspense as you might expect from a horror or thriller I was just going "huh?" and "what?".
However this movie isn't all that bad, mainly because of the idea and originality and the actors performance. Save it for a rainy day or whenever you have some time over. I give it 5/10
