Utter Clown Shoes

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2003)

Truly an atrocity. While the original was genuinely scary and had me on the edge of my seat, I found not one scary moment in this insulting Hollywood cash-in. The acting was poor, the dialogue worse. Even the incredible ending of the original has been spoiled by sloppy editing, and the ridiculous flickering TV look of Samara. And I'm sorry, the horses? What the hell was that all about? In the original Sadako's background was based on a partially true story about a psychic, who was shunned and called a fraud by the press and subsequently committed suicide. Horses? Also, the mother does not kill Sadako, her illegitimate father does. Horses? Horse s*** more like.
