I'm finna watch this joint for the 1st-time ever in a couple hours.

Movie peaked my interest because I finally found out last year this movie is 1 of the main horror movies that "Scary Movie 2" is based on/parodies.

Y'all thoughts?

It was forgettable to me.

Saw it before the original but I prefer re-watching the original

Was watching this last week and enjoyed it; don't like scary movies like that but horror films have intrigued me lately.

Kinda nostalgic for me since this was one of the first horror movies that I had seen as a kid.

it was a decent remake....

Saw this when I was 14 in 1999….I was all excited, it had a good roll out, right before Halloween, and my friend and I were all into it, we had some special set up at the movie theater, where we could buy R rated tickets, but I remember watching this, and it's not very scary, and Taye Diggs is a terrible actor in everything, Chris Kattan is shrill and obnoxious and not much better of an actor….Famke Jamssen, who I lusted after 4 years earlier in 'Goldeneye' was underused here….was not well received critically if I remember, the memories are more fun the movie.

Whenever I watch a horror movie remake, I usually like to watch the original movie 1st.

But I ain't trying watching a movie from 1959, that's too old!! The oldest I'm willing to do is movies from the late 1970's.

I'm considering watching that joint & "Ghost Ship" later this month.

not saying the original is a "must see", but you are missing out on some genuine classics

 

[Jello Biafra]

It is not a good movie but I find myself sitting and watching it any time I stumble upon it while channel surfing.

Famke Janssen (The chick that plays Jean Grey in the X-Men movies) is looking so in this movie.

I don't watch many old movies, but that's a classic just for the laughs alone, "she doesn't walk she float"

"Playboy kills wife wit champagne cork"

 

[g-ice]

Guilt pleasure right here...this shyt sucks hard but it's one of those movies you can't stop watching.

 

[MartyMcFly]

Movie is wack. The original is much better. You may have to get rid of that mandate on a movie being a certain age in order for you to watch it breh. There are more good scares in that than this one by far

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Taye diggs movie was very forgettable.
