Anyone else see this yet?
Creep city, man. I love horror films and this is one of the better ones I've seen of late. Very chilling movie that inspires a sense of dread instead of just a few scares. That said...
The only problems I had with it were:
1) VERY disjointed storyline. Halfway through the movie the story takes this long turn that it doesn't need to go on as it resolves nothing and you find out very little.
2)Far too many cheap/fake scares. C'mon people, just stop with these already.
3) The kid. Suddenly, everyone wants to be Haley Joel Osmet (sp). This kid has one moment where he truly shines and is just in the way the rest of the film.
This was my kind of movie, surreal horror. Kind of like Muholland Dr. in mood, but nowhere near as intelligent. Interestingly, Naomi Watts shined in both movies.
I really want to see the original Japanese version now. Most say its superior in all ways and I'd like to see if that is true. It's supposed to come out on Region 1/ Region 0 DVDs sometime next year, so keep your eyes open!
