Watched Malaysia's Oo Nana Bobo (the title of a child's lullaby) on RED last night. A bold attempt, to make a horror movie set in a brightly-lighted, ultramodern house with most sequences shot in the daytime. The director tried extra hard to make the scenes scary. It didn't work for me, though, mainly because of the shallow screenplay and the downbeat ending.

Then caught the Western remake of The Ring on HBO. Again, it had a downbeat ending. And, somehow, it was corny this time around.
