Waste Of Time

Rating: 1/10 (15 April 2005)

I won't give away any of the plot, if you can say this film has a plot which is a stretch. I will just give my reaction to the film.
I was told by many people how impressive and scary this film was. I avoided it for 3 years because I am not a fan of horror films. I borrowed this film yesterday because I was curious why people where so into this film.
I spent the whole time heckling it and making snarky comments about it because it was not even the slightest bit scary. It was just a movie with a barely there plot line with lots of lame, random images that were suppose to be freaky. I was able to sit through the whole thing and instead of feeling scared, had to resist the urge to laugh all the way through.
The only freaky thing was the little kid. He was definitely a piece of work and needed therapy even before viewing the videotape.
I think my brother, who joined me in heckling the film (and he is a horror film lover) summed it up best when he said: "I guess the point of the movie is VHS is evil so watch DVDs." *Thumbs WAY Down*
