Creepy, but pointless, 30 May 2002
6/10
Author: Robert W Saint John from San Francisco, CA

Lots of effective, creepy moments building up in the first 2/3 of the film, but seems to putter out after that. Solid performances and great handling of the "movie within a movie (within another movie?)". Still, a good first effort from director Hideo Nakata ("Ring").
