on Jan 02 2008 05:33 PM Worst Movie of 2008 already, wow. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 02 2008 06:28 PM In reply to this comment (#1420871) If only this came out on Tuesday it'd make it all more better. Let's get through the flops early!! (Reply to this) |
on Jan 02 2008 10:04 PM LOL This movie looks bad. I think I'll pass. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 02 2008 10:46 PM "Bad" is an understatement. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 03 2008 12:23 AM Movies like this *guarantee* business for any other film currently playing at the theater. Jeez.... I don't think there's a word for (ridiculously horrible)^n. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 03 2008 05:11 AM I still think this is a "Ring" cop-off. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 03 2008 06:28 AM It's movies like this that make me happy that I still have movies from last year to catch. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 03 2008 06:34 AM It will still do business, these movies are so cheap to make, and so easy to make back the money put into them. It will have a good opening make back its money and disappear, which is exactly what its supposed to do. The really sad thing is next month we'll have yet another cheap horror film come out, oh, and the month after that, and the month after that.... And what's with all these Japanese horror remakes?

on Jan 03 2008 07:43 AM NOTICE TO RT POWERS THAT BE: can you go ahead and not run the 'one missed call' ads on the site anymore? i had to look at that retarded graphic of the face with screaming mouths for eyes about 20 times yesterday. it was on the top and side banners, so i couldn't really escape it. i get that you have to pay the bills, but if you can choose something else (anything), or just keep the RT Beta banner ads instead, that'd be greaaaat. thanks.

on Jan 03 2008 08:02 AM Miike's original was a spoof anyway. So.... this is a remake of a spoof. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 03 2008 08:40 AM i hope this is bad, i love crappy funny horror movies. just don't let it be as bad as halloween or saw for christ sake. pleeeeeeeease. if its as bad/good as Stay Alive or even the hilarious When a Stranger Calls...i'd be content with that. both of those were hilarious. the premise itself sounds stupid...so i'm hoping they're very similiar in "don't think too much" entertainment value.

on Jan 03 2008 09:45 AM Haha, I was wondering where Phone Booth was going to get mentioned and "woomp, there it is." I wouldn't say it looks good, but I would say it's pretty genius that the movie is the only major release this weekend. I'm guessing a couple kids will get all freaked out when they get a call that goes straight to voicemail. I don't think the movie is supposed to change lives :) But I'm hoping it's at least better than Fear Dot Com. I don't know if that's saying much. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 03 2008 10:40 AM In reply to this comment (#1423133) Notice to RT powers that be: Can you please stop selling advertising space on your website, stop paying for servers, and let the site die. I can't be bothered with looking at an advertisement for something I don't want, and instead of averting my eyes, I would prefer that you go out of business. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 03 2008 11:50 AM In reply to this comment (#1423891) i just happen to hate that one movie's advertising. that stupid face with the mouth-eyes. but thanks for putting me in line with that Cold Blooded retort. MAN that was cold. blooded. I think it was BMC, too, but not sure. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 05 2008 09:11 AM Does anyone actually wanna see this movie? Even the trailer looks horrible. Just for once, I'd like a new horror movie that actually tries to scare us without being so gimmicky. (Reply to this) |
