Today, Cinemark 17, Springfield OR, house #9, DTS. The analog pre-feature stuff didn't sound very good, otherwise things were pretty OK. Attendance maybe about 15.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT???!!! This movie is AWFUL. It makes no sense. I can usually buy into suspension of disbelief, but this was just too much. [thumbsdown]

1 star, and that's only for the cool internal mechanical views of audio and video tape decks in operation. [Roll Eyes]

Huh? Are you saying you don't believe that the dead transmit on the same frequencies as our televisions??? [Razz]

I just realized I never put up my review on this, but my sentence above should be enough.

1.5 out of 5 stars only because the idea of the movie was interesting, just terribly executed.

EVP has actually been around for a while. The "video" part of the story was Hollywood taking a little creative license with the idea though. I heard some of the ones that were used in the trailer a few years ago.

As far as the movie goes, the scary scenes were little more than cheap "BOO!"s. And it's another example of how Hollywood can take an area of serious study, and sensationalize it to the point where it becomes absurd.
