Technology. Looking at a videotape can kill you in this movie. Are there really curses in the world? Well, look at King Tut's tomb, the Boston Red Sox, the Chicago Cubs and my experience with the lottery. After a little light humour, getting serious is what this movie is all about. The performances are good, the technology is excellent and the story has twists that are hard to resist. It's evenly paced and has no slow spots. I like the fact that a sequel is being planned and given all of the sequels that we get that are based solely on making money, this seems to be the kind of story that can work with multiple stories done the right way. Perhaps the killing influence in the next film will be a DVD? :-)
