Often I can be somewhat of a movie snob, especially when it comes to the realm of horror, but this movie was godawful. No wonder the American sequel took creative liberties when making the Ring 2, it was either make a movie that involved ferocious deer, or emulate this Japanese bomb.
I can understand a psychological thriller, but this movie offered such a convoluted and ridiculous plot line that it was unbelievable and thus flaccid and weak. The only disturbing part was the fact that they spent money on a movie that suggested there was such a thing as an "optic infection"...you watch something and you get a virus from it? I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure that's not possible...ever.
There wasn't even poorly animated CGI bits, to make the movie at least amusing. Just a lot of talking, no action, and no intelligence whatsoever.
The ending had somewhat of a twist, but not nearly enough to makeup for 2 hours of sheer boredom.
