Samara Weaving, I'm not sure that is a household name already but after this I think it should be. All hail to the casting agencies who can find the perfect face for the perfect character. What I like about this movie, while it may not be exactly a horror story is its realism that is only violated in the very end but then it is executed which such perfect justice and accompanied by such ironic laughter from Samara that whoever came up with it is totally exonerated for its in-credulousness. This is a dark movie, bodies are drawn from the living at a steady pace and the killings are as brutal as they are fanciful. A head is chopped off with an ax I will give you and for the rest go watch it thank you very much. There's a dark kind of humor to psychopaths and this movie is full of it. The cringing, hurting moments invoke true horror because you can so easily relate to them, the strength of those scenes is that they are so close to the bone, the spine is a bone right? The movie stays close to the face of the main character, which is always a satisfaction when it is a pretty one, and in our desire to understand it we are exposed to all its evolving expressions as it attains more grit while the story develops in an ongoing escalation of violence. Believe me, the curse is real, this is a serious game.
