Sometimes regardless of view, a film is just a bad film, regardless of actors, script and production. This is one such film, it is a bad film, it scores points for the terrific opening on the plane, it's no wonder that scene was shown as the main trailer, bold, dynamic, truly thrilling. Sadly, after that excellent opening, the film became a virtual mess.
The terror once caused by Samara, now had an almost comedic value, at one stage it felt as though an attempt was made to give her an almost cuddly likeability, it was pitched incredibly badly.
It lacked any real scares, the original was disturbing to the point that many didn't want to watch the actual video, as a horror it was terrific, this was a horror non entity.
The acting was decent, though they were up against a terrible script.
After a great opening, this dies a slow death. 3/10
