SPOILERS - Plot flaw? Don't read unless you have seen it.

Rating: Null/10 (27 October 2002)

I liked this movie and look forward to seeing the original Japanese version (DVD trilogy for sale on eBay right now cheap...all region encoding) but I have uncovered what I think is a MAJOR plot flaw. Here comes the SPOILER....
The horses all comitted suicide. I assumed it was because Samara didn't like them because they were supposedly keeping her awake in the barn, perhaps. Remember the oft-repeated line, "She doesn't like it in the barn..the horses keep her awake."
Well, HELLO...another oft-repeated (and even illustrated) trait of hers was that SHE NEVER SLEPT. They said this about a dozen times and even showed her staying awake for days on the time-lapsed footage from the camera in her room in the psych hospital.
I would love to be wrong about this but I don't think that I am. Wonder if the much-lauded original contains this same error....
Some very fine moments in this movie that will scare the most jaded of us, but overall I would have to say it definitely does NOT live up to the hype that it is the next "Sixth Sense". There's really no comparison. See it, but keep your expectations on the low side so that you can enjoy the experience.
