One, it is very scary. It's scarier the first time, but, it still makes you jump. Second, the music is great, as any music in any thriller should be. Third, there are numerous references to Hitchcock, like Rear Window and Psycho. Lastly, Harrison Ford is my favorite actor, and it's interesting to see him in a bad-guy role.<br /><br />Just wondering if anyone else liked this thriller. It may have been trashed by the critics, but I don't think it deserved it.<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 10, 2002, 06:56: Message edited by: Veers ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>USS Vanguard</b> <br /><small>Member # 130</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2002,1,10,8,0,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">February 10, 2002</span> <span class="timeformat-0">08:00 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> It was okay, not fantastic, but certainly not terrible.

Except for Poltergeist, and the Exorcist. Neither one of which I have seen more than once. And Ghostbusters, of course, but that doesn't count, because it is an entity unto itself.<br /><br />I think the thing that bothers me about Ghost movies is how once you have seen it, all the mystery of the plot is gone, and what you're left with is usually a sub-par movie.<br /><br />Re: That piece of shit with nicole kidman that came out last year about a ghost in a castle.<br /><br />Anybody think that is worth two viewings?<br /><br />Re: The Sixth Sense<br /><br />Highly overrated and...<br />$$$$$$$$spoiler warning for the Sixth Sense Below$$$$$$$$$$$$$<br />$<br />$<br />$<br />$<br />$<br />$<br />$<br />$<br />It's not really that good of a movie, but it's got people saying it made them cream their shorts, it was so good. Why? The Suprise Ending (TM.)? Fuck, it wasn't even that GOOD of a suprise...and let's face it, if Bruce Willis WERE dead, we'd all be better off...the only good thing about that movie was that kids' acting. <br /><br />This phenomenon of sucking after the first viewing is, of course, a trait many movies suffer from, but for me it is particularly bad in Ghost Movies. I actually liked The Frighteners, but damn, what's the point of watching it again?<br /><br />I don't know. I'm rambling about meaningless crap now.
