Disturbing and I want my two hours back

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2002)

I'm just going to say I'm putting in spoliers ahead of time.
I really hope this film burns for it is for the easily amused.
That said, on with my review. I really think all these actors could be great if they weren't in this movie.
It had a shakey plot at best, but still succeeded to be creepy.(especially when Samarra jumped out of the telly). I was upset because everyone treated the little girl unfairly, and no one figures out completely why. And why should anyone care that if anyone should be evil, it's her mother who killed her? How was murdering a child at any time a good thing? It did play out mythology wise like Samarra was a demon or possessed by one, but it never stopped to explain why. And even at that, it does not justify the murder. It doesn't explain how if Samarra was a demon, this automatically means that she can jump through electronics and kill someone.
This movie should have ended right when they all went home as a family. It would have been the best ending for everyone. But did they care? No, of course not! IT made no sense. Absolutely none, and you know what? I'm not going to sit through two hours of that ever again to figure out why.

My friends and I were wildly upset about this peice of crap. Most of the people in the theater were as mad as the hornets that came out of that well that little ol Samarra died in. Whats sad is that I felt for the little girl right after that scene with her mother, I really did. But then to turn her into a evil demoness was just going too far. By all accounts, if they would have had the mother evil(and Samarra was trying to tell them about her murder through the tape, and the mother would kill them in seven days for finding out about it), then I probably would have loved it. But screw this...it doesn't deserve to be compared to anything. Except the trash I just put out on the curb.
