here's a review of one of the films that i found a guilty pleasure, i don't know if you people gonna be mad at me for liking this film, but i felt interested throughout the film, i never felt that there is plot holes or something bad with the direction, the movie is suspensful, and nothing scarier than seeing chaz palminteri's rising from the tub.
i really like sharon stone in anything, but i don;t know maybe she wasn't her usual self in this film, maybe the casting could have been better for her role, but i still liked her.
Recent years have seen a glut of remakes of European films, but, admittedly,this one can't be that bad, it's not like it's a bad tv movie production or something, i haven;t seen the original film, but i would say the premise is superb, it's scary and intriguing as hell, the music was very good in my opinion.
Sometimes, however, Hollywood manages to come up with a remake that is so inferior to its original one that the two films do not deserve to be mentioned in the same comment.
i kind of agree the film 's pacing was a bit slower than usual thrillers, but i didn't find it that bad, i was kept interested throughout as i said,kathy bates could have been written much better here, feels that she didn't deliver anything here, being secondary at best.
all in all, i have to say i enjoyed the film, i should be watching the original to compare the two anyway.
have your say.
