I don not think this will be any good, how can it be with a premise like that?

[b]Frankie Muniz is a sellout no talent hack.[/b]
His movies suck, he sucks, and just cause he's "young" is no excuse.

This trash should go direct to video and not any of this "Frankie is a big boy trying to be SERIoUs Omggg"

Frankie Muniz isn't "young" as you say. . . he's about 19 or so by now

this is another Ring, watch the movie, die. Then there was the classic ;)Fear.com, go to the website, die. and now play a video game and die. OVERPLAYED, and junk this annoys me how low these people will go to make money, what happended to good horror movies?
