Disturbing

Rating: 9/10 (26 October 2002)

I'm not going to get into the whole thing about it being a remake and all of that. If you're a smart person working a job and looking for a good scare, see this movie. I grew up watching Freddy and Jason and every episode of "Faces of Death" hundreds of times. I've seen all of the classic horror films from "Night of the Living Dead" to "Exorcist." I even watched the original "Ringu" as well as "Ring", the Korean remake of "Ringu." But this movie scared and disturbed me more than anything I've ever seen or read.

Maybe it was the theater environment or maybe even the mood I was in, but this movie freaked me out. Driving home wasn't easy and I'll have to see how I do going to sleep tonight. And like I say, I grew up on gore and violence so it's not like I'm sensitive or anything. Get some friends, head to this movie and watch grown men scream along side thirteen year-old girls. It's a lot of fun. 9/10.
PS: Notice how many people are more disturbed by what happens in the ferry scene with the horse than the fact that four teenagers died. You can waste all of the humans you want, but don't mess with the animals. I love Americans.
