This film definitely fell thru the hollywood cracks...and by that, I mean that it was not regarded as anything 'serious' back in 1999, especially when so many blockbusters like 'The Matrix' was spear-heading the new millennium. Also, it's a remake of the original of the black and white 60's version which, is actually more 'haunting' than this film. However, the film stands the times on it's own, and I feel that sentiment for myself...others might disagree. The cast is good. The location/cinematography is great, the story-so so, but I believe the writers were a bit off with the script. Dialogue speaks loudly in an empty hall, and it felt that the writers didn't fill that with this great cast. BUT, I like this film for what it is: a movie that 'breaths' with a sense of 'being there' (esp. the fact that the music score stops in many key parts in the film). The effects (visual/audible) are top-notch, bringing a fondness that never really left me when I saw it originally almost two decades ago. Like I said, everything about the film has great merit, albeit with an 'ehh approach with the character lines within the film. There are SEVERAL films that fall way behind this one, with the 'typical slasher approach that this film does not (fortunately) have. Jerry Goldsmith's musical score tops it off, along with great cinematography, and great visual effects *that actually beat many CGI effects today. TWO HONEST THUMBS UP.Read full review

As the title indicates, this DVD is well-known for its DTS Discrete 6.1 sound among audiophiles and home theater buffs. If you want to show off your surround sound system and subwoofer, this is an excellent movie to do it with. The movie itself is a remake of a 60s horror movie and is just ok. However, I think most horror movies are just ok, so that is no surprise. I give it a 4 out of 5 because this is a must-own DVD if you have a surround sound system, and it is a compelling spooky story without being gory.
GREAT MOVIE

This movie has great actors but it's not one of my favourites, although I can get into it, ther's just no good story line. I love Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta Jones, so that alone, makes it worth watching.
