Now maybe I’m just stupid, but this movie made no sense at all to me.
The only part I found satisfying was seeing Sarah Michelle Gellar go splat on the sidewalk outside the hospital. The “scary” parts were, for lack of a better term, not. Utterly predictable, and just plain not frightening. If I open my closet tonight and find a naked Japanese boy meowing at me, I’m going to kick him in the face and call the police, not stand there while crappy CGI hair envelops my entire body. None of the characters ever made any effort to physically confront the Samara knockoffs. I’m sure that such efforts would be futile, but it would make the movie a lot more interesting.
Hopefully someone can answer some questions for me:
1.) Who was this person that the little boy in the apartment building followed down the stairs? What was she doing foraging through the trash for newspapers?
2.) This whole family, in aforementioned apartment. What connection do they have to anyone else in the movie? And for that matter, what do the people next door have to do with them, or anything?
3.) Girl drinking and puking milk? What? I recognized the character as the girl who was helping with the moving earlier in the film, but why this is happening I do not know.
4.) The ending was so confusing for me that I don’t even know how to phrase this in a question. Could someone please just explain what happened?
I think it had something to do with someone getting whacked with a frying pan; I missed the first minute or two fixing a bad splice. Maybe this was a great movie and I just missed something critical. I sure hope so.
