Yeah. A dude standing in a corner and handprints on a wall have never been so gasp-worthy. But to be fair, you need the rest of the movie to make that work.

I don't know that this movie stands up to repeated viewings, though.

Sound design is often a make or break element in horror. Ringu is creepy even when nothing's happening because of the burbling soundtrack.
Get one home theater system, aren't they widely available for ~ $100 now?

As if!
Yeah yeah yeah, twigs aren't scary. What the fuck are you lot on about? If that's how you think, you can dismiss ALL horror movies cause some of the best out there is about IMPLYING something. Or you could just say:Well, fuck the Exorcist cause the devil doesn't exist. You have to go with the (scary) flow. And it isn't about the twigs, it's about (unknown) evil (who cause the twigs to rustle/break/whatever). Sheesh... Weren't you ever scared when you were alone in the house and you heard a door creak? No? Well, then I'll shut up now. :-)
You can sort of guess which group I belong to. It's a bit like a ride at a funfair: there's no point to it if you don't let yourself go.

I dunno, Dolby 5.1?
Which films parodied it?
Scary Movie comes to mind, just in the past few weeks there was a Blair Witch reference on the US version of The Office.

there were even parodies of parodies, that's how rediculous it got!
the best parody was one i saw on either Sundance channel or IFC (maybe even HBO), it was a guy and his stuff bear camping and being scared n' shit.

The second time I saw it in the theater was not quite as good in part because I knew what was going to happen and in part because the friend I saw it with kept clutching my arm and distracting me.

also, there is no way a movie like this could be succesful in the post youtube world, right?
the best parody i ever saw had jar jar binks in the final shot. (came out the same summer at e1, right) cant find it on youtube, but i think it was called "Jar Jar Binks Project".

Would've loved to've been at the Sundance screening, where it was screened as a documentary.

i saw a leaked copy at friend's house a while before release, and the lack of a huge system didn't make a difference.
