But in general, I am not a huge fan of remakes, some I like or love......The Fly, The Thing, Dawn of the Dead, even The Hills Have Eyes. But mostly, like this one, I have no use for them. But I am slasher fan as well. I just seem to be stuck in the '70s and '80s.....;)
So I finally saw it.

And, wow. WOW. A movie that predates Halloween by 4 years, you can see how Carpenter's iconic masterpiece borrows from this incredibly well done slasher.

I'm going to go rant about it in "Last Seen Movie" thread. But I thought that I should single out YOU, Jenna before doing so. :p
