it looks good for a teen slasher.

What are ya'll...

Crazy?

Living in a hole?

This is yet ANOTHER fuckin remake from a Hollywood that's completely run out of ideas.

No bitch'll ever have the horror filled eyes that Carol Kane did in the original version.

They shouldn't even bother.

And in this new version...the terrorized woman appears to do battle with her foe.

WTF?

In the original...they managed to keep you on the edge of your seat...and the motherfucker became a classic...

WITHOUT HER EVEN COMING IN CONTACT WITH HIM!!!

This one does look like it'll suck badly. Though, one thing does seem good IMO; Her battling with the foe.

Yes, I've seen the original. But, I only liked the first fifteen minutes of it. I hated how afterwards it went into a whole new direction. I would've loved to see it stick with the Carol Kane bit from the first fifteen minutes (because adding her at the end just didn't cut it).

Just another PG-13 girly teen horror in my opinion

I loved how they gave away the big shock of the film's remake IN the preview.

If the point WAS to show an updated version to teens who had never heard of the movie, why give away the big shock??

On a side note, does the house look just like the house from Hostage?

I have the original in my collection... Just by the previews, it looks nothing like the original. To all the people who havent seen the original, I prefer that you all see the original before the remake.

SPOILER*****
To the people who saw the original..... From the previews, the movie looks like it surrounds a teenage girl in the house, but we all know that was just a short part in the movie... The movie goes way beyong that. All i saw was a teenage girl from the previews. In the very good original, i love the call in the restaurant... How creepy!! The restaurant call was more creepier than the house call.


PS...... If you think its a teen slasher, you will be highly disappointed. Atleast the original wasnt!

The remake doesn't look that good at all. If I watch it...it will be a rental.

While babysitting did any of your friends ever call you and say, "Have you checked the children" after the original came out?

Exactly. In my opinion the preview should've ended when the police call her back and let her know the call's coming from inside the house. That would've been pretty fucking creepy.

the mere fact that the makers of this film opted to go for a PG-13 rating suggests to me their "target audience" and it's not those concerned with quality.

by teen slasher i mean it's mainly about a teenager. but, it'll prbably suck, but i'll go see it just cause it's there, and all my friends think it will be scary... even though they thought cursed was nightmare worthy. (crack up)

never saw the original, so what do you mean by it goes in a different direction, and does anyone actually die? in original and remake if you no.

There's been a lot since that has jaded our view but at the time it was a cool movie.

i think that, at least from the preview, it looks pretty scary. at least the whole deal where she finds the pillows where the kids are supposed to be, and hes up un the rafters looking down at her.

I don't think a remake was needed...

Curiosity will get the best of me though, and I'll Netflix it when it's released on DVD.

Sure, you're all excited to see this new movie, but it's just a remake of an older movie, which means that it will probably suck.

Most remakes do.
When they made the Ring, they made the Ring 2 and The Grudge. All 3 sucked.
There's an example.

Oh well, you can see it and let us all know what you think.

The Ring, and The Grudge were both extremely well made films.

The Ring 2 was a laughable piece of crap.

i wish people could coherently express why they think certain films suck - especially when they are so competantly made.

The Grudge was made by the same director of Ju-On.
he used the same style, told the same story, didnt allow the quality of the film to drop at all .. i saw them both almost back to back and i cant chose between them which is better.
(and i saw the origional 1st)

i just got back from seeing it, and i liked it for the most part. i don't care what anyone else thinks, the suspense in this movie leading to the stuff near the end was very good. it was chilling with all the calls and such, and the jump out stuff with that damn cat. i thought this movie has some very intense jump out stuff, which is what i like to see. i like how they kept it basic, with not a lot of slashing and such, and it was very realistic compared to most horror films today. the battle with the killer is somewhat stupid, but the ending is what really caught me... it was retarded. i think it should have been completely different. overall i enjoyed this movie, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat for a little while, and its fairly well done.

I dont understand how anyone can think this movie looks good from the preview...Did they look for the worst actress they could find who had little to no emotion. Just they way she answers the phone makes me cringe. I usually give remakes a chance, and I like a few of them, but this one looks ridiculous.

Hmm, not really. The original took part in 3 chunks, all spanning a few years. The "killer's in the house part" is only the beginning chunk of the movie. They took a 20 minute scene and turned it into an 85 minute long movie.

Ever seen the original?

i think you need to see the whole movie. a lot of the stuff that happened in the previews didnt follow what was said in the script at the time. for instance, she wasnt looking through a window when he said, have you checked the children. and for the record, there have been much worse actresses than her, and you need to lookinto things more before you judge imo. for the record i liked this movie, but it is definently not the best thing out there or anything.

If anyone thinks this movie looks good, is good, or even considers it anything but a cheap, stupid, and somewhat ridiculous plan to steal money from dopey teenagers, then civilization has fallen to an all new low.

Anyone who supports this film should be tarred and feathered.

that isn't your place to judge asshole. you can't say that someone should be tortured, etc just for liking a certain film. nobody likes everything that other people, so deal with it, and just don't watch the movie if you don't like it.
