Good, but don't buy the hype

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2003)

This was a very well done movie, though I disagree that it was the "scariest movie ever made." in fact, I would say that it really wasn't scary, rather it was tense and disturbing; while there are horror genre movies out there that are extremely morbid, and huge fans of those movies would probably finds this film rather pale in comparison.
This movie is much closer to being a dramatic thriller rather than being a horror flick. For what it is, it's very well composed; though you'll find a more frightening movie in classics like "Silence of the Lambs," or "Jaws."
For being the scariest movie ever made, I think that's a tough title to earn. This certainly didn't out do "The Exorcist" or the original "Haunting."
All in all, it was definately worth seeing, but don't expect to be scared out of your wits.
