One creepy film

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2002)

Creepy is definately the word I say describes this film the most. The atomosphere is good too. I enjoyed this film. It is one of the few horror films made that have made me tense. Are there problems? Yes. The story is about a reporter that while trying to find out why her niece died comes across a tape that supposedly kills you if you watch it...so what does she do? She watches it. On it are a bunch of disturbing images in black and white that reminds one of that one Nine Inch Nail video from way back. She promptly shows it to her ex because he insists then her son sneaks and watches it. So the reporter has to solve the mystery or in seven days as a phone call tells them they will die. Some of the problems for me included the girl in the mental institution...you never find out why she is there or how she knows things. Also, the little boy has some physic (I know this is spelled wrong) powers that are never fully explained and at one point you wonder why didn't the boy say what he knew earlier. There are a couple of other little things, but all in all it was a good movie...now I just have to see what happens to me at the end of the week.
