A reasonably good movie ...
31 March 2008 | by See all my reviews

I read some mixed reviews before watching it..it takes a bit more to please me as an horror movie buff. I felt the story line was innovative, movie had good number of scares without much of blood around.

The main lead was good but probably some nudity would have added more flavour to the movie. Good effort overall. Probably there could have been more gore and blood in the movie to keep all the horror fans happy.

It was not as scary as Grudge or Ring but it was still reasonably good absolutely not a time waster. Its definitely worth a watch.

I would give it a 6.
