Anyone see it yet? Was it any good? We are thinking about going to see it tonight.

If anything I know it has great eye candy

its an american version of a Japanese movie series that is supposed to be REALLY good i.e. The Ring. The NY Times gave it a good review.

So we went and saw it tonight and it was a pretty good movie. A little odd but good. It wasn't nearly as scary as it was made out to be.

My wife and I saw it today and we thought it wasn't that scary. The movie trailers really spoiled the movie, because there really was nothing new at the theater.

All that being said, the movie is actually really good and holds your attention from beginning to end. It has a 'Memento' feel to it with the timeline being delivered out of order continuously giving you more clues.

My wife and I enjoyed it and actually talked more about it later in the evening, which tells us that it was a 'good' movie in our book.

ok i saw it. In my opinion it was very dissapointing. The scary parts were predictable and the plot was EXTREMELY sterotypical. The only + is that the characters were pretty scary. i give it 4/10

Just saw it today.... it was good but not as good as "the ring"

The story was kinda awkward and had a few flaws (maybe i miss understood?) and the "mood" of the movie wasnt as scary unlike the ring where you feel tense throughout the whole movie. But still a recommended movie.

The Ring is better and scarier,plus when i was watching it everybody was laughing because theres a lot of comedian that night spitting corny ass jokes,true story.But its unique compared to most of the movies produced the last few years.

I really thought I wasted 2 hours of my life away. But my wife was scared as hell from the movie. She turned on every single light in the house, so she can go to sleep.

Damn! I guess I am just a puss, I was truly scared. The movie had a very good sequence, it really never had a lull. I liked it and would recommend it.
