I'm trying Hulu now and I see they have the "new" version of this movie. Not sure if I want to try it but I remember paying actual money back in 1999 to see this total piece of CRAP. Talk about overhyped! It was sooo long ago now and I have not seen it since but one thing I do remember is that it was (and continues to be) one of the worst "horror" movies I have ever seen! I remember the entire craze. How GREAT this movie was and how it cost pennies to make and it was raking in tons at the box office. I went in expecting "good" at least. I had seen horror movies before that ended up being a disappointment. It was awful! I just stayed in my seat thinking "Oh...this has GOT to get better!". Nope. It never happened. I walked out just shaking my head! 90 minutes of hand-held shaky cameras, dark shadows and tons of HEAVY BREATHING! Yes, I do think it would have been possible to make an actual scary film with hand-held cameras on a shoestring budget but this was NOT it! This continues to be one of the cheesiest awful pieces of crap I have ever seen, and that's saying a lot because I have seen plenty of crap movies! It would have to be awful for me to be able to remember just how bad I thought it was after all of this time. Wow this thing sucked. I just can't believe how much $$ this piece of garbage made! $140M (USA) box office in 1999 dollars is insane! I think people must have been hypnotized into thinking it was good with all of the shaking camera shots!
