Don't review a horror movie you saw on comm. TV!!!


I see many people saying that they saw this on Chiller or Syfy (SciFi). You do know that reviewing a film with multiple edits for content, time, etc. makes those of us who love true horror shake our heads! I can see watching it and then renting it or streaming. But to have about 12 commercial breaks, the phone ringing or any other distraction to base your review on is plain ludicrous.

I agree with the ending being a little strange with the actions of the girl but I have to disagree about the animated ghosts. CGI looks like crap on flat screen TVS if you don't set the controls to make it look more like film. I saw this on a DVD player projected on to a theater screen and it looks fantastic! Less saturation in color and less sharpness om your tv will get you closer to what the film looks like on the big screen (Even though it was video we were projecting).

To put an end to my bitching and moaning, I just wanted to say that in a theater type atmosphere that this movie kicks ass. At home, I watch it on my 9 ft. screen with the video projector and it suffices. I give it 7/10
