The story was very well done... all the foreshadowing and relating events to lines that we hear previously... it made for a good mystery.
The horror parts were few and far between, but done rather effectively in my opinion. The girl coming out of the tv was excellantly done, especially by the guy's reaction. He sold it really well, instead of just standing there going "oh my god"... I hate that.
The horse falling off the ferry... damn, that looked way to real!!!
Anyway.. the story was original. That's for damn sure. That's a huge bonus in my opinion.
It scared the hell outta my GF, and had her cuddled up to me all night (and also kept her awake for a good portion of the night too), so it had the desired effect.
It certainly wasn't a bad film... but I can see how it might have not lived up to some of your expectations... and when a film doesn't live up to expectations, it's easy to dismiss as a bad film.
My question is, if you hadn't heard how great it was from everyone before you watched it.. would you still think it was crap after?
