The movie does the point well. A great remake.

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2006)

Its a horror movie, done very well. A remake of the classic 70's horror, it contains all the violence and scares that was in the original and more.
It's not nice to see Hollywood trying to remake the classics, but this is an improvement over other recent attempts. Starts off slow, but does a good job in setting up intense moments that are not forgetful. It also contains those cheesy lines and the classic fake scares. But this makes a horror movies great. It even contains great splatter scenes and various images that are original.
Alexandre Aja will be a star director for future movies. He also did great with his previous film Haute tension.
