I liked the vibe. It reminded me a bit of the Strangers when I saw it in 2008.
It's nothing new, of course, but I can't think of anything wrong about it.
I liked the side plot with the couples.

Since The Guest and Apostle I've been a huge fan of Dan Stevens, so I expected another bad ass horror movie with him in it. It certainly wasn't.

Yeah, I like him a lot too.
Avoided Apostle, no idea why. Worth a watch?

In my opinion it was the best horror movie to come out that year together with Bording School and Better Watch Out.

Dawn of the Dead - One of those remakes that does it's original justice. It captured the tone in showing how the world falls apart and managed to make characters like Michael, Tucker and Ana likable. Granted, I may be a bit biased because after seeing this in the theater, I had a major crush on Sarah Polley.

Other than that, we have Johnny Cash with some amazing opening credits, ultimate badass (nominees) Ving Rhames and Tom Savini and... holy shit, it's Doug Stamper. ::big grin::

If you haven't, check out "The man who knew too little", A later (though pre "I'm an actor with depth" era) Murray movie that I've found not many people have seen.

Both are going on the watchlist. Thanks for the tip.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by murryfying it?

Would that by any chance be on Youtube?

I do remember Dreyfuss being likeable in the commentary track for Jaws.

Yeah, I was entertained. It was different than the original, had a cool jump start, and for the most part was well paced. I give films credit for knowing what they are and just trying to do that well. It wasn't great, nor, from what I remember, significant in anyway, but at the time fairly different and entertaining.

With the right crowd of friends, I liked, The man who knew too little, but kind of wish he Murrayfied it more. Quick Change is a pretty good forgotten film.

Murray has his humor, "chewing the furniture" as it's called in the business. Probably the best example of Murrayfying is in Caddy Shack... just really heavy humor, but also the Murray personality, where he's kind of playing himself, like in Ghostbusters. That kind of force can overshadow character development and other revelatory aspects of other actors emotions and plot points.

I think in Groundhog Day Murray is funny, but he keeps it within the character and doesn't overshadow important story aspects.
