Apparently this was supposed to be scary.

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2002)

This was supposed to be "the scariest movie since Sixth Sense" ... which I suppose is apt, since neither Sixth Sense nor The Ring is scary.
The music was well done--it set a scary mood even though the plot couldn't do so. There were some creepy scenes, and the brief glimpses we got of the scary special effects makeup were creepy... It seemed to me to be more of a mystery than a horror movie.
We found ourselves laughing more often than being scared... and it wasn't because the movie wanted to have humorous parts. I also spent a lot of time wondering who punched the kid and gave him two black eyes...

Not to say that it wasn't kinda enjoyable, but I am glad I saw a matinee.
