One kid you didn't want to see get pulled outta the well

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2005)

A good adaptation of a Japanese film that had one hell of a killer ending. The Samara villain was pretty damn clever and cool I believe she even won an MTV Award that year. Another memorable trivia piece for this movie was that half the reels sent out to the movie theaters were defective and showed only half of the movie prompting many viewers to get their money back. Unheard of I don't know of that ever having happened before or since. One thing is certain. This made Naomi Watts a star. Maybe not a huge star, but a star. Whether or not she gets any bigger I wouldn't hazard a guess. The special effects are cool and the plot twists are fresh and keep you entertained. Brian Cox unfortunately has a very small part blink three times and you'll miss him completely. It's not a scary as most other well known and popular horror films but it will keep your attention.
