It wasn't that good, people.

Rating: 4/10 (21 October 2002)

This movie was ok but nowhere as good as the average Joe Q's comment in here suggests. The director makes some very poor choices which help kill the suspense that he worked hard to build. The scene with the firehose is a perfect example. Another complaint I had is the way the actors speak to one another in no way resembles the tone of voice that people use in real life. The kid - Capt. Melodrama - was the worst offender. Lastly, the script needed more work. (SPOILER ALERT ON) What happens if you watch the tape and there isn't a phone around? Also the phone always JUST HAPPENS to ring after the tape was watched, usually it was just a fake-out. The used this too many times. My big question: what time period was the little girl living in? The costumes certainly make this very unclear. Another question: how did the women know that failing down the well or watching the other tape wasn't what broke the curse? I think it would have been interesting if there was an anti-tape. (SPOILER ALERT OFF) I gave the movie a 4/10. Enjoy it for what it's worth and forget it.
