The women are very creepy, but I think the entire movie is creepy and disconcerting. By the time the "chase" scene Christie, Sutherland, and the mysterious wee one in the red slicker came, I was exasperated. And the final confrontation killed me. It was so shocking and well-done that it was almost orgasmic.

You can tell they are giving you hints just by the way they show the scenes and such. I mean thats a giveaway but its hard to piece together.

Have you read the story by Daphne du Maurier? If you can find it at the library, I suggest reading it; it's really good and you won't be able to put it down.

The one that I have is in a book with four other stories by her and they're all pretty darn good.

No I have not read the book, but it does have me intrigued. I do have some free time I might go pick it up at the library.

Thanks for the tip!

Seems that Chevy's Vacation wife took off with his balls. He's still reeling.

They're also remaking my beloved Don't Look Now, which they will all burn in hell for. What's next? Videodrome? Halloween? The Bad Seed? Freaks? I mean, c'mon.

There was talk of a Halloween remake, but I don't think that will happen until the sequels are finished. Pt. 9 is in the works now! The remake of The Fog; however, will be out this October!

That was Pacino.

Another one who has been a pale imitation of himself for years. Everything he does is the same and I'm so tired of his histrionics.

The lady that runs the rooming house cracks me up in that movie, but you're right, it's horrifying. The tension is unbearable right from the start.

If anything needs a remake, it's The Fog. But the first one was bad enough.

I read in Entertainment Weekly that it stars Selma Blair and that dude from Smallville. Watch it be PG-13 and fun for the whole family.

Even though the middle is a little weak the beginning and ending make up for it. I should also add that they are remaking the sequel (When a Stranger Calls Back) that was made for TV in 93 and I must say it was pretty damn good. Carol Kane was perfect for the original, I wonder if she'll make a candid appearance in the new one?

Any thoughts?

This film scared the **** out of me when I first saw it. I was actually babysitting at the time! I think I would have peed my pants if the phone had rang while I was watching it!

It supposedly is going to be PG-13, like The Grudge

I did see Black Christmas and I fell asleep in the middle. I thought it was 'ok'. I hate that English girl who was in it (also in "It")... her voice can drive someone to suicide.

Yes, i keep hearing about Halloween 9. I have all of them on DvD and video and I love all of them (Even part 3). They are really going to have to pull some good stuff out for this one because they have basically killed off all the main, intresting, characters. Who knows maybe Laurie will have powers like her brother?

I am happy they are remaking the Fog thats a personal favorite of mine. It was such a great idea but they didnt portray it as well on the screen as it could have been, so maybe this one will be better? Love the idea of the movie though.

Haha!!!

I could never watch a scary movie if I was in a strange house babysitting. Ive seen way too many horror movies to fall into that trap.
