Meet Samara  the creepy, crawling, neglected young girl who haunts people through video tapes and slithers out of your TV screen

Rating: 10/10 (20 March 2007)

It seems as if every decade needs an iconic horror figure. Be it the 1970's Alien, 1980's Freddy Krueger or the 1990's I Know Why You Screamed Last Summer at the Scary Movie thingy. Come the first decade of the 2000's and you get Samara  the creepy, crawling, neglected young girl who haunts people through video tapes and slithers out of TV screens.
The effective 2002 American remake to the Japanese hit strikes a chord every time I watch it and still gives me the Willies every time I re-watch it on cable or DVD. It's a healthy mixture between thrillers and horror films, serving chilling delights for its target audiences on each and every twist and turn. It's almost hard to believe that the charming 17-year-old Daveigh Chase is also the girl behind the voice of Lilo & Stitch's Lilo. That thought alone scares more than this wonderfully horrific must-see ever will.
Anyways, this film is highly recommended, but don't try watching it alone (or answering the phone while you're at it).
