This is a beautifully dark, no-pretentious chiller: the scariest and most affecting film since Nightmare On Elm Street. The story is intriguing and raises some interesting questions about urban legends, videos and reality/fantasy warpage; but none of that is the issue. It isn't the most original story in these horror-overloaded times, but the handling of the story, the tense lighting and the frankly terrifying finale kept me up all night. Just as with Nightmare 14 years before this grabs you and doesn't let go without resorting to just killing people off every five minutes, but actually scaring you - kind of a mix between the Exorcist and Videodrome; don't watch it on your own, and make sure you don't leave your t.v on standby after seeing it. 'Frolic in brine, Goblins be thine'
