Well I heard nothing but good things about this film, a 'new six sense' was how it was described.

Indeed there is a lot of rather worrying sequences, and it really builds up a nice nasty atmosphere, and then drops you like a stone with a 'too difficult to believe' ending.

The whole idea of a video that kills you intrigued me, and it did deliver for most of the time, until it tried too hard and inevitably failed to provide the viewer with a decent ending. There is a twist, but by the end you don't care.

less than impressive.

Hmmm....I thought Sixth Sense was well after Ring but I could be wrong.

Nice name though Dave.

This may have been the American remake (pah!) of the cult Jap film.

It is the remake, and I hope to buy the original version on DVD soon. You can get it cheap off Play.com

And they're making a USA remake of Battle Royale. That is gonna suck.

I thought the original Japanese version was rubbish.
No atmosphere, no chills, no thrills.
Just some boring stuff down a well where nothing happened.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Wonderful...
... and so easy-to-use even for a technophobe like me. I had my website up in a couple of hours. Thank you.
