(This review may contain spoilers).
I can’t really say much for the originality of this film, sine it is a remake of a Japanese film. However, a lot of people have become so dependent on technology, that it’s particularly scary when it starts going wrong.
The storyline and characters in this film were especially interesting. There were some very creepy moments in this – and the ring tone is one of those that immediately springs to mind. If I ever heard that in reality, I think I’d freak out.
What was interesting was the way the hallucinations were built into the story. I’m not going to give anything away here, but by the end, they actually made sense.
I think the actors did a really good job in this film and I found it very entertaining to watch. Sound and visual were used to really good effect. I also felt that Beth’s character in particular had a layer of depth that’s often hard to get with films.
The film did a really good job of surprising me. There were things that I didn’t expect to happen.
I wasn’t too keen on the ending of the film, but it’s fairly normal for horror films to be open-ended now, I guess. I did watch it with a friend with the audio description on. For the most part, that did work quite well – but there were a few important things that were missed out.
