Sometimes scary other times not...

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2008)

When I started watching this movie, I thought it was going to be really scary, but it was actually not so scary and I can't blame the people who didn't like it, probably it is all because of the very little content of horror or they didn't understand the script. The beginning of it looked as if it was another ghostly movie with ghosts and scary settings, but I must say "The Ring 2" has much more supernatural horror than this epic. In some scenes I felt like I did not understand a single various thing like at the very confusing end, but I think you have to watch it again to get the full meaning. Also, in some scenes, were actually scary and it kept me on the very edge of my seat, wondering what is going to happen next. So there are ups and downs for this movie, but the bring it to a conclusion, I would say, it was an OK movie but if you're looking for something scarier - watch the sequel to this.
Naomi Watts, another successful actress, took the chance to perform a single mother and in my opinion she did it really well. She was the perfect choice for Rachel Keller and you could see she really tried and surprisingly it looked as if she was doing it for real. As for Martin Herderson and Brian Cox - they are really marvellous actors. Like every actor/actress in this movie, they truly done there roles fantastically well and they really tried their very best. So the performances really brought this movie to the next level - which was great. But there was a real let down on the script, like I said, I didn't understand anything in some particular scenes. I mean, in the end and some scenes in the middle...what? I did not understand! So, like the content of horror, that was a negative point to the movie that is what makes the movie get poor ratings. So if you're looking for a little bit of a scare, but not a lot, watch this movie, but I guarantee you there will be a 75% chance that you might not like it.
