I've got to admit I'm getting excited by the prospect of this film. I haven't been looking forward to something new in a long time. Looks like real 'old school' horror with what look like cool effects.
I just read the USA Today story on this and liked Darabont's take on the film. I guess I sort of hope that this brings a new wave of horror and we get past some of the rapidly-growing-tiresome torture films (not that I hate all those films but its just getting old).
