Spain is totally trouncing anything coming out of the US at the moment, this is another example of an excellent horror film, and I LOVED The Orphanage and Pans Labyrinth, These 3 films were original and brilliantly put together, America is stuck in such a rut, remaking The Wolfman, the Crazies, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Fog ( wow that was terrible), etc etc as well as anything decent to come out of Asia and now this is being remade, surely the enormous industry that is Hollywood can come up with something at least original. And isn't it kind of insulting that the US film industry thinks we "can't do" subtitles or does that really effect the popularity of a film? I REALLY doubt the US version is gonna be better than this. "Run Angela Run AAAAAHHHHHHHH"

I saw this on a plane, by accident, I don't much like Eddie Murphy or the spate of ultra dumb 'comedys' but i loved this, its a big all round load of dumn nonsense, but its really funny and doesn't pretend its anything else. There was a comment on this message board which seemed to be claiming it was racist and makes fun of more black and Asian people than white people, hmmmmm, I can't remember many - any white characters in it, it makes fun of black stereotypes, and as a black person I found it very funny. Tasteless and harmless, Its not " One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" but there's more laughs, apparently this text needs 10 lines, aahhh there we go.

I saw this at the Frightfest and its AMAZING, did the previous reviewer even see it? No real shocks!!, I've never seen a cinema jump like the audience at Frightfest for this film. I'm kind of tempted to name the shocks but I wont. Its such a stunningly made film, creepy, atmospheric, shocking, great story, beautifully directed, the main woman is incredible. I was never really sure if it was supernatural or psychological, but as it reveals...wow, its excellent. Its so well done I cant write more without giving stuff away, but go and see it. I was expecting a low rent " pan's Labyrinth " but I think it might be even better than PL, though very different. Best film i've seen in ages
