It's refreshing to see a scary movie that doesn't rely on heavy doses of blood and gore to deliver some really creepy scares. The movie does go down some familiar paths to get these scares, but the journey down these well trodden paths is a lot of fun.
Daniel Radcliffe is Harry Potter, and this is really what I was thinking the entire time I watched the movie. It didn't really get in the way of the movie and he did a really good job with a script that expected him to react more and talk less. I think that with his first post Potter film he would have distanced himself from such familiar surroundings and did something modern.
It's the ending of the movie that really sold me on the entire film. I won't go into spoilers here, but the ending is a fitting way to end this scary movie. I liked that in the end, evil is evil. It's a simple idea that the Japanese have really embraced with their scary movies, but it seems that western audiences always yearn for some kind of redemption.
