Movie was somewhat interesting then basically just ended, some of the people in the theatre were booing, these directors are trying to be too damn cute. And I thought the ending of Open House was the worst ending ever, this crap has that beat.
shareI hope they learned that after 55 remakes of a film (exaggeration of the number but I'm sure you get it), yet another one does not need to be made. I don't think any film has ever been remade as many times as this one. It's enough already!
shareThe movie did have a ending. The scene where they all left the house was all in Kate's head. You could look at it in two ways. Maybe Kate was going insane and there were never any ghosts. The movie takes place in 94 because the whole thing is a flash back. The red haired woman who was supposed to be her mom was really her. The reason she screams at the end is because when she looks at her mother's face she recognized it as her own. Or perhaps she was not insane at first and the house did have ghosts. Maybe everyone in the house just denied it. Maybe when she left the ghosts followed her home and nobody believed her. So whether or not it was all in her head or the ghosts were real the result of what happened to her is the same. She gets locked up in a mental hospital. She gets put on drugs that destroy her personality and make her seem out of it. Honestly I liked this movie better because of the insanity at the end.
shareI haven't seen this remake but it sounds extremely different from the ones I've seen. My favorite is the one with Deborah Kerr, The Innocents.
shareThe fact that you're all over the place with trying to explain this movie just makes my point.
sharethis movie stank all the way through
shareI'm glad I didn't pay to see it.
shareThe BBC, huh?
shareIndeed!
shareI only saw the last 45 minutes or something, but I can't say I was impressed.
shareIt was like it was made by someone who'd watched a few of these films and thought 'I've got this!' without realising that it actually takes skill and technique to pull off something really creepy. It's crazy that we have films made in the 1940s/50s/60s that are creepy as hell, and this thing with all the technology available manages to completely miss it.
shareYes, that's what I was thinking as well. It was trying to copy similar movies, not even all good ones, that still did a better job. And it was all loud music and sound effects as well. I don't think I'll ever bother to watch the first half.
