i did like the bird-thingys sequence in the bamboo .. that was about it.

I knew it would end like that, but just once i'd like to see a fucked up movie with a more heroic ending. But still... very creative and mesmerizing.



*end spoiler*
I saw the original, but i heard the remake also has the "wait, lets acknowlege that this is just a movie and fucking ruin everything" part as well.

Al ot of people loved the remote part but I hated it. Not because it acknowledged that it was a movie or because it broke the 4th wall but because it ruined the ending. After giving the villains that type of power there was no hope for anybody else in the film. Yes, the you could see that ending coming anyway, but there was at least some possibility of an alternate outcome.

Fun movie this one. I really liked it. Plus it's always fun to be able to say "I've been there... and there.. and there..." while watching a film. :p

**SPOILERS***
I think that part ultimately ruined the uncomfortable atmosphere. i mean, i felt a little bit upset that she went through all that but died at the end, but the remote part kinda made it seem less effective, as if, "oh, i guess its okay, its just a movie."

another aspect to the film that i disliked; the villians were the furthest thing from intimidating or creepy. I think it was sort of the point, but i disliked it either way.
