Not as scary or as smart as I was expecting

Rating: Null/10 (24 May 2003)

It tries hard, but it's just not that scary. Eerie, maybe, but not scary. It also leaves too many important plot points unclear for my tastes; there's a thin line between being cleverly mysterious and being just plain vague. The extra scenes the director glued together on the DVD release help a tiny bit, but if a scene is important to telling the story then it obviously should have stayed in the actual movie.
