During the climax of the film, Kendra pulls the TV off it's shelf, and it falls down with the screen facing up and she starts stamping on it. However, the TV is seen moments beforehand with its screen facing towards Kendra and the rest of the family. This means that if Kendra pulled the TV off, it should have fallen with the screen facing downwards. See more »

Director Gil Kenan is relatively new in the director's chair, and unfortunately it shows. This modernized telling of the classic original is neither scary nor convincing. The acting was merely ok and the effects so-so. I'd rather watch the original ten times over than to watch this remake a second time.
