Not Scary....

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2004)

I can't really take scary movies. They don't even have to be scary.. I've never been one for "haunting" movies either. After I saw "The Sixth Sense," I had trouble sleeping for over a month (utterly pathetic, I know). I thought it was really ironic, then, that everyone found "The Ring" to be soooo frightening. Maybe it is just because I had expected it to be sooo scary that I worked myself up for something extraordinarily "scary", but when I saw it.. I was left thinking, "well that was kinda stupid..." I mean the movie was entertaining, and sure, it was suspenseful.. but come on .... a girl walking out of a TV? Really now... "The Ring" is a good movie and it's pretty clever, but for me it didn't really do it. Didn't have the effect on me that it seemed to on everyone else... kinda like "The Blair Witch Project" .. that wasn't as scary as it was out to be either....
