TAKE IT BACK! IT'S SHELLEY FUCKING DUVALL! Nothing beats Shelley Duvall!! Except... well.... you guys know what i'd say...

I think she looks like a beaten horse...you're other choice aint too hard on the eyes though;)

Me too. Ugly as sin.

Well, i admit shelley duvall isn't very pretty, but damn everything if she isn't one hell of an amazing horror actress.

Cant argue with that.

I still love this movie to this day (the remake was a sick tragedy). I think the fact that Nicholson and Duvall aren't Hollywood's idea of beauty helped make it even more believable.

Yah, very good point. Very good.

I still say that the TV remake was FARRRR superior.


If people can let go of their love of the original for just one minute, they might see that the remake is MUCH more detailed 9what is it 6 hours long?) and its 100% identical to the book. (with a far better ending).

I always thought a) the mother in the original is ANNOYING AS HELL (same with the kid)...and b) the ending SUCKED (cause i read the book first)

I still havent got around to seeing the remake, but I would like to.



Skoof - In a way, I think the movie had a better ending. Can you imagine if they tried to recreate the topiaries? God, that would have looked AWFUL with 80's effects. On top of that, I hated the feel-good ending of the book. Up until then it was great, but that was horrible IMO.

Ok, minus the ending debate.


The Mother and Child where annoying as hell.

just an opinion.

Check out the remake, Return.

You will LOVE it.
Even if you end up liking the original better, its still a fantastic miniseries.
