Alternate Versions
The trailer features two little scenes which were not used in the final film. In the first scene, which was probably cut from the sequence where Eleanor and Theo go through the house for the first time, they find a door, which they open, only to find a brick wall. The second scene is a piece of dialogue between Eleanor and Theo. Eleanor asks "Have you ever kept something to yourself because you were afraid?" to which Theo answers "All the time." See more »
This movie is a remake of a truly horrifying and nightmare inducing 1963 film of the same name. Why Hollywood thinks that digital effects and campy acting is better than the imagination is beyond me. This film is so full of digital effects (none of which look real) and overacting that it cannot compare to the original film which starred Julie Harris and Claire Bloom. This film is just plain stupid. The original (in black and white) is still the scariest film I've ever seen (and I've seen them all). The original makes you use your imagination to fear the unseen - this remake doesn't allow you to do that and that is its biggest mistake.
