Very Well Acted But Very Difficult To Watch At Times

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2006)

The movie accomplished it's goal of being a great remake, it had a very 70s feel and it was a very scary film. All the actors were very talented and the characters are very well played out especially Doug who is very likable. The atmosphere is what makes this movie great, you'll feel chills and jump at every little thing. The main issue I had was at times, this movie was difficult to watch, particularly one scene. For even liberal viewers I'm sure this movie will cross line at times but you shouldn't let that stop you from watching the movie which is disturbingly beautiful. The music score is perfect. The only reason I'm rating this with an 8 out of 10 is that it was difficult to watch and also the movie relied more on disturbing terror rather than creepiness which is what I expected from the movie. A very good movie but be ready to have that fast forward button under your finger!
