I first watched this with my sister and we was so scared by the last half of the film we could not even look at the television to see what the freeky womans face looked like.
The story is a bit far fetched i can't say to much or it will ruin the film for you,simply put it's about a video tape(freeky woman climbing out of a well then walking very strangly through the tv screen onto the floor)that if you watch it you die within days.
Not your usual horror film,quite unique apart from the usual reporter running around trying to save everyone but managing a bit of romance along the way so nothing different there.
I thoroughly enjoyed being scared half to death and if you like films that keep you in suspense wanting to see the monsters face and yet so scared to look at the same time then this ones for you.
