Scared the F-ing s***e out of me!

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2002)

I saw the movie, last showing of the night.. I walked in knowing nothing about the plot only that you watch a tape and you die... I was shocked.. horrified.. and it was amazing! I'm the type that really enjoys horror flicks about insane asylums but even then I've never felt disturbed. I enjoy being scared.. I enjoyed this movie. I was hyperventilating in my seat and a true terror was evoked.
I find that the plot is tightly strung and the parallelisms in everything was amazing. Especially the foreshadowing.. This left the ending of showing how the death occurred a grave shock. The acting was superb.. and coming from a theatre major... amazing. Absolutely real and urban. I can't see these other actresses doing it. Granted Nicole Kidman could have done the role, but the real question is, would it have been like The Others? I think she was good for that role but this role wouldn't have worked for her in the end and I think she knew that... there is no way I could have seen Gwyneth Paltrow doing Rachel's role.
Amazing.
