I suppose it worked for some, but I'll agree that the hype is a huge part of what killed it. Nutty's pic is a good indication of the word that spread about this movie. I found myself waiting to be "terrified" for hours, only to leave mildly annoyed.
And although I don't remember the sound when the girl crawled from the T.V., I will say it was the sound when they showed the dead girls body (in the beginning) that made me jump. So I suppose kudos are in order for the volume guy. But as for story, plot and overall scariness, I would show this movie to my neice, who will be turning three next month.
