Title: Almost a great movie
Review: I must say I was surprised when I read the book after seeing the movie. I think the movie is just better, as a whole work of its own, than the book. It maintains a better sense of creepiness, and makes a little more sense. The characters are developed a little more, and in my opinion they act more realistically. Especially the wife character, as you get to see much more of her reaction to her husband's unravelling due to his visions. This movie has two of the scenes that truly scared me, the first being when Tom first sees the ghost, and the second being the series of shots where the ghost "plays" with Tom's wife and child. My Japanese girlfriend could understand this movie with only a very basic grasp of English, which is always a plus. A good afternoon popcorn movie.
