Truly Frightening

Rating: 8/10 (27 October 2002)

I do not get freaked out very easily. Only one other movie had me shaking after watching it. That was Stanley Kubricks "The Shining". Samara is on par with the twins from "The Shining". A great thrill ride totally unique concept. It makes me want to see the original Japanese release. The great thing is it has absolutely no huge stars. But is still being loved by everyone. Maybe Hollywood should take note.

On that note the acting was superb. Naomi Watts does a great job. In her first leading role. The two young actors David Dorfman and Daveigh Chase. Give chilling young performances. Best I've seen in a long while. These two will be ones to watch in the future.
To sum it up. If you want to be scared go see this film. See it with your better half. So you have someone to hold on to.
