Trivia:
This was the last picture Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) released as an independent company. On 8 April 2005, the studio was acquired by several companies, including Sony, in the middle of the promotion for this movie. Several other films, including Into the Blue (2005) and The Pink Panther (2006), were already produced and set for release by MGM at the time of the buyout, and were later released by Sony Pictures. more

Best Recent Horror Remake, 15 April 2005
8/10
Author: xdrjeangreyx from Missouri

I really loved this remake, it had all the elements of the original but contained equally creepy scenes. The pig eyes from the first flick would have been a nice touch. As far as acting, I think they did terrific. The fact that Ryan Reynolds was in it was enough for me. The man has amazing comedic timing even for a horror flick. I never would have thought the two guys and a girl star would be where he is now. Melissa George, has proved herself to be naturally talented, and matured from the alias bad-guy image. The storyline was well written along with dead on consistency, and beautiful cinematography. A break from the routine of LA and NY.
