Every time I see a movie I love, I can never understand how others could completley hate it. Well, now I'll have a better understanding. I did not see this movie at the theatre but finally did see it on DVD this past Monday. I had heard how cool it was, how creepy and scary it was, and how "smart" it was for a horror movie. Well, I found it boring, not scary and predictable... The movie "spoon feeds" you the plot/story to you the whole time. How could you not know how it will end after seeing the fly "come alive"? Two people I watched it with had seen it in the theatre. They claimed after watching the "short film" made for the DVD that half of the sceens in the short film were actually in the theatrical version. I can't speak to that, but can say it wouldn't have made me like this movie anymore than I already did. I may have to say I'm getting old and am now "out of touch", but I'd rather watch Halloween, Evil Dead or Texas Chainsaw over The Ring every time!
