Cinema Fun Fright

Rating: Null/10 (23 May 2003)

See this film alone in the front row of the cinema to get the full effect. Well worth it.
It is a roller-coaster of emotion. No point seeing it on tv with friends. It works in the same way as 'Scream' it gives false endings & makes you conclude an ending, then gives you a different one. Very rewarding as a ride. This film is a unique reminder of why we need cinema & not DVD or video, this film in the cinema makes us 'feel' emotion against our will. It is never about plot or resolution it is always about making us have emotion against our will. Skill.
Rating - 8/10. The only thing stopping this being 10/10 is that the Japanese version is superior.
Who should see this film - Any adult who enjoys cinema for the ride & the thrill. This film is not big or clever or deep, but you will appreciate the artistry involved in making you 'feel' or gasp. To make a tree look scary & to make the audience scared by it, takes great skill. A great funfair ride, well worth the entry price, considering it's simplicity. Traditional film making at its best.
