Yes, yes, yes people, I just saw it for the first time this past week.
The film's direction felt clean... hard to explain, but the angles were purposeful, the movements were very specific, the environment was sterile... it felt clean.
The storytelling style was interesting.
In general the plot and concept were okay.
The Bad:
I am yet to be terribly impressed with Sarah Michelle Geller.
It didn't scare me, and what was that sound? Was it a bullfrog? How is a bullfrog frightening?
Making a child creepy is difficult... this child was not creepy.
Overall: I stand by what I have said before, "If you've seen one Japanese remake with some weirdo with a white face (The Ring, The Grudge), you've seen as good as it gets... why bother with another one?"
