My Review-

There is a remake of this movies coming out next month I believe, and it looks good maybe because it has an olson sister that can actually act. Then I heard there was an original one, so my mom found it and recorded it. It turns out that this movie is more of a "wtf" type movie and not a creepy, scary movie, well maybe at times it is but aside from that it has a twist that makes you think about what you just saw in the previous scenes. Without really giving anything away about the movie, if you want to see the remake or the orignal. I can tell you this much it is one of those movies you to expect it to be by watching the previews. I can see why the audience did not like it though, the trailer IS very misleading by showing it as a horror film when I think it can be seen as a psychological movie based on what I saw, but that will be up to who ever wants to watch it for themselves. There were some parts of the movie that I liked more than others, and the others I thought did not need to be in the movie. I was hoping to see a good horror movie, but what I got was a twist ending in the movie I think thats what kind of saved the movie for me. Maybe it will save it for the viewer as well.
