Television sets within television sets- the brilliance explained.

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2003)

The brilliant concept of the movie is this...
The fear is contained inside a television set within another television set.

It is a movie about a second t.v. within your own that contains a creature that is a girl of silent and demonic fear. And if ever that girl should come through and into the real world so help us....
Here is the trick psychology-effect: If the demonic fear is able to transcend the boundaries of one television set, what will prevent it from transcending the second? "Relax, its just a movie" we tell ourselves- or is it? You can see how it takes that old comfort-saying and rips it to shreds.
Rent it on video to recieve the greatest effect- far more than watching it in theaters.
Basically, the audience recieves a sense of safety and security by seeing how the source of fear is contained behind a television set and within a video tape. Then we are given this idea that looks can be deceiving when we buy into the chance that the little girl is not evil after all, but is only trying to find a way to rest in peace after death, "hey! she's harmless!"... or is she? the twist gives us a hard-hitting blow to the head when we discover to our disappointment that this demonic evil has the ability to "pretend to be nice like the rest of us." This concept is brand new and fresh, unlike any horror film I have ever seen, and you have I bet.
Another brilliant idea is the physical form of the evil itself- it came in those good old fashion electromagnetic waves that has entertained america and the rest of the world for decades. It should really mess up the mind and provoke the semi-intelligent viewer who I doubt would have picked up on these underlying concepts the way I did. But that is the intention which is too obvious to be recognized and the brilliance behind the movie.
That is all I have to say for this.
