This Film Will Stay With You Forever!!!

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2006)

I watched the original film a week before seeing the remake and was not so surprised by how different they were. I love this movie!!! It had everything I had hoped for! Blood, carnage and jolts! I hate to admit it, but I jumped at least five or six times during this showing! I could not believe how much they got away with when watching it as well! I especially thought the acting was great from Ted(Silence of the Lambs)Levine to Kathleen(Apollo 13)Quinlan. Even "Lost" star Emilie de Ravin was exceptional as Brenda. And what can I say about Aaron("X2: X-Men United")Stanford as Doug Bukowski, fighting through Hell to get his daughter back. When I realized that this was the same actor who played Pyro in "X2", I couldn't recognize him! He was awesome!!! Then I found out that Billy Drago was in the film and was blown away!(no pun, if you've seen the film). It was great to see the guy who played Frank Nitti in 1987's "The Untouchables" still getting mainstream work! Congrats to Alexandre Aja and Wes Craven for bringing back a film that truly exceeds and is a whole lot better than the original classic!!! SEE IT!!!!!
