Chilling rather than scary ...

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2003)

Possible Spoilers
I saw this last night, having not seen a decent horror flick for a while. I heard that the Japanese version is far more scarier and that this version is perhaps "watered down".
I found this film chilling rather than scary. The whole film leaves you feeling cold throughout. The evil that pours out from the little girl Samara is intense, possibly due to the neglect she had recieved from her parents.
It's certainly a powerful and disturbing film, and kept me thinking about it all night, hence the lack of sleep.
A good film, by no means fantastic, but worth seeing ... 7/10
