Hot people save the day again.

Rating: Null/10 (21 October 2002)

Firstly, don't you just love it when really attractive people save the day? Isn't it just wonderful?
Right, the movie was a mix of scream, the sixth sense, and final destination, and it wasn't really as original as those movies were, even if scream was terrible.
Really not a bad movie, not great either. I was laughing at some parts, and covering my eyes at others. When they actually show things, it was funny, and I was cheering for the main characters to die, maybe that was just me. It's just those little cheap scares that get me. I know they're coming too. Grow up, I know.
I just have a few questions. Might involve spoilers. 1.) where did this tape come from? Did it just appear magically, like other VHS cassettes? If the movie was shot 30 years in future would it have been a magic DVD? Was the girl at the bottom of well using FCP to put this all together? 2.) Why does she kill the people? For not passing on the message? Come on. Tell this girl to grow up. My brother doesn't give me a phone message, I don't jump out of a TV and eat his brains. Juvenille, really. 3.) Brian Cox is a wonderful actor, but seeing him kinda takes away from the film. What happened to no stars, only talent? He's just too famous. I kept thinking he was gonna teach me to use this . . . or this . . . or get caught in a Lie. 4.) What is this girl still trying to prove? The people who wronged her are dead. It's not like kids are being glad bagged and tossed into wells all the time. And why does she have to kill? So violent. I tell you, kids these days.
Right, the movie still is scary. I was scared at some points, visually it's nice to look at, stylistically many elements are used well to give you a better perception of the story. But when you look back at it, you're just like, wait, what? Whoever said frailty was bad was right, that movie bit, the sixth sense wasn't really a horror movie so I find it hard to critique in terms of the genre. And if you want to scream in the theater, be my guest. It's what the movie is there to do. If you want to laugh along like me at some parts, and cheer for the characters to be killed, that's cool too baby. I dug the hitch references, but there should have been nudity, come on.
I'd give it a B or B+, but only for that crazy ending. Otherwise B- or B. Anyway, peace out yo.
