Negative Positive
Title: Visually Beautiful, Mentally Defective
Review: It looks great, it sounds great, but it's not great. The effects are nice - somebody went to town on digital grading, that's for sure, although the company that did the effects has a web site that needs a password to get into it - very annoying and un-user-friendly. Still, it's full of holes. The origin of the videotape never gets explained and we never get a reasonable explanation for how these people are getting these creepy phone calls from dead people. They really expect you to suspend way too much disbelief however and that ultimately pulls the movie down. This kind of convention has been done before, and far better, in movies like The Changeling. If you like this movie, you should really check it out, it's far better at conveying the same message.
