Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaElizabeth Banks took inspiration for her character of Rachel from Rebecca De Mornay's performance in The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992). On the role of the character, she stated: "It was very important to me that every line reading I gave could be interpreted two ways, so that when you go back through the movie you can see that."
- GoofsThe graves on the headstones of the Wright children have the death date as 1986, but later when the girls are looking at the computer, Alex says the story is from 1996.

Featured review
Surprisingly Good
A lot of people seem to be judging this movie by the trailer alone, but I was lucky enough to see an advance screening today, and I have to say that the movie was not what I expected. Sure, some of the obvious plot points in the trailer are there, but overall, the movie was really quite good. Suspenseful, scary at the right moments, with a hint of a flavor you don't see in most movies.
I'm not going to say much about it, but take my word for it that I thought it was really well done. It's not perfect, but it definitely does well for itself. Don't just judge a book by its cover, nor a movie simply by its trailer.
Yes, it may be a remake, but it's a good remake. I give it: 8/10.
