With all the stay in the light movies theyve been coming out with, it was refreshing to see something new-something that actually had a point to it. The special affects were okay. Nothing great. The only really great special affects was when the little girl crawls out of tv. Now that was great. I would go buy that DVD just for that scene if didnt already have it. It was a dark movie, which was cool. The plot kept twisting and turning causing you to rethink what youve thought was going on through most of the movie.
If you want to see it, I say go for it, but dont spend too much money and dont \get your hopes up too high. Its not worth the 9 bucks I spent seeing it at the theater.
Now you want to see a great movie..Ringu is awesome! That movie will scare the living crap out of you.
