This was an amazing movie with many memorable moments. The thrill of this movie was warranted especially since one of the few horror movies I enjoyed representing the devil and all things dark.

A good remake, but please dont try to substitute Prague for London when it comes to film locations.

I thought it was a faithful adaption prehaps a bit too slick, but well done.

Far better than the original; may have problems at the box-office, with all the critics ganging up against it because it's a FOX made movie. But it has depth and a very anti-establishment political tone to it which is very un-FOX like.

I've seen the earlier movie, and while this one is nothing really new, it was tighter, snappier and as good as the original. Loved every moment!

This gets an 8 comfortably, being probably the best horror released this year, and the most surprising hit. The acting is strong on all accounts (even Damien himself has perfected a demonic scowl) and special mention goes to the male members This gets an 8 comfortably, being probably the best horror released this year, and the most surprising hit. The acting is strong on all accounts (even Damien himself has perfected a demonic scowl) and special mention goes to the male members of the cast, who provide an intriguing dynamic. The film is genuinely suspenseful, and the "jumpy" bits will literally make you jump out of your seat, handled like they should be in every film. The deaths each have a Final Destination-esque grewsomeness, and the dream sequences, if confusing and irrelevant, are disturbing and fit perfectly. It's fast-paced too, and the ending will catch many off guard...perfect for the release date of 06/06/06. It could have been improved with a good soundtrack, but an outstanding must-see all the same.… Expand

Exciting, scary, and interesting, if somewhat slow in places. As usual, the critics only focus on how much "better" it is than the original, or how much it has changed.

Really enjoyable and probably a better film than the original. I have been a fan of the director for a while and his choice of actors over stars was a wise one. The death scenes are really cool and the new music is also quite good . Worth a Really enjoyable and probably a better film than the original.

It's actually pretty good...really scary, unlike most of the horror crap we get these days.

An effectively eerie reimagining with a more modernized perspective on the story. It delivered and entertained throughout with an engaging pace and solid performances from Schrieber and Stiles.

It delivered and entertained throughout with an engaging pace and solid performances from Schrieber and Stiles. The atmosphere and scares were executed well and honestly i believe this is quite an underrated and an overly hated horror remake. Like many of the other remakes of late that are overly hated by horror purists this one deserves more credit. I don't know fans cant accept new takes on classics.… Expand
