I don't think this film puts a foot wrong till the last second, when it just sort of stops happening. Everyone in it is excellent, it never overplays (though you think it does in your memory). The kid is just fantastic. Anyone else given this another try since first watch? Excellent film, the best of those Castle Whatnot jobbies.   Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.96.253.77 Posted on Tuesday, March 08, 2011 - 06:46 pm:    I've only seen this the once, but I liked it a lot.   Huw (Huw) Username: Huw Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 61.216.48.157 Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 - 03:58 am:    I liked it too, and have been meaning to watch it again.   John Llewellyn Probert (John_l_probert) Username: John_l_probert Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 194.176.105.56 Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 - 12:29 pm:    We liked this one a lot as well, so much so in fact that we gave his 'House of Wax' remake another go (not recommended, btw). And Tony I agree - it's certainly one of the better Dark Castle pictures, although I still think their remake of House on Haunted Hill is marvellous for about 80% of the running time.   Stevie Walsh (Stephenw) Username: Stephenw Registered: 03-2009 Posted From: 194.32.31.1 Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 - 03:26 pm:    Haven't seen this. Really that good then? You do mean the 2009 film by Jaume Collet-Serra? I see he directed that new Liam Neeson thriller, 'Unknown', in cinemas at the minute.   John Forth (John) Username: John Registered: 05-2008 Posted From: 82.24.1.217 Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 - 07:30 pm:    Is this the one with the tagline "There's something wrong with Esther?" Never seen it, but when the posters were up we got a lot of fun at my fiance's expense (that being her name).   Craig (Craig) Username: Craig Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 99.126.164.88 Posted on Wednesday, March 09, 2011 - 08:55 pm:    I quite liked it myself. And it's gotten quite a cult following among the younguns, teens and such.   Jamie Rosen (Jamie) Username: Jamie Registered: 11-2008 Posted From: 99.241.215.179 Posted on Friday, March 11, 2011 - 01:14 am:    Glad to see I wasn't the only one to enjoy it. I think a lot of horror enthusiasts slept on it when it first came out, which is too bad.
