If you are a (horror-)genre-fan then a screening is entertaining, but do not expect too much. Mostly, it's style over substance.
The visual effects are good, but not outstanding. The main weak point is the story. The story is - compared to the US-"Ring"-Remake - much weaker, more illogical, confusing and much more worse explained. So, mainly, it lacks a new, genuine idea which could lie beneath the horror. The ghosts and attacks are scary, but unfortunately the background is not, it's just not profound enough.
I must say that I'm not a particular fan of Kristen Bell. She is okay in the role, but I'm not enthusiastic about her. The other actors are okay, too.
Maybe the alternate ending/deleted scene on the DVD can compensate for the weaknesses of this movie, at least a bit.
