WHAT'S IT ABOUT? Japanese video game gets movie-cised! A mother follows her runaway daughter into a ghost-town, and finds herself haunted by vengeful souls.
ANY GOOD? Jumps from being spectacularly chilling to annoyingly silly, but its flashes of brilliance make it arguably the first decent game-to-film ever. Even better than Mario Bros, which was s**t.
SCARY BITS: The 'witch' burnings. Pyramid Head's movie debut.
NOT SCARY BITS: Sean Bean scratching his balls and looking perplexed in routine home scene.
FREEBIES: We've got 5 of these great DVDs to give away! Just email your details to webmaster.maxim@dennis.co.uk and we'll enter you into our giveaway draw. Closing date: 19 September 2006.
