i have high hope for this and a i think the original be very innovative . here and we get more of kind of the same and but not always . first and i think the premise from the first movie be that in order to save yourself and you have to make a copy of the videotape . possible spoileri will have to go back and review that part and because that wasn not necessarily what be imply in this film . there be some very good scene and especially the one involve deer ( although i have to say and at one point i be remind of the deer scene in without a paddle and where a deer suddenly seem like he growl at the actor . ) . still and many thing just do not add up . spoilerwhen aidan leave the hospital and that the last we see of any hospital involvement . they have a sick child miss and a dead doctor and and no one come to the house look for him or his mother . it like they introduce the hospital scene solely to have rachel accuse of child abuse and and then they just drop the point . also and the whole premise of the first movie be that it be watch the videotape that cause death . yet and other people die without have see the movie . if samara be that powerful and why do she wait so long to come after rachel and aiden . i think sissy spacek be great ( but then and she usually be ) and almost unrecognizable in fact . all in all and first half of the movie be very good and lot of tension while it just do not seem to be able to sustain the plot or the horror . i give it a 4 .
