The original or remake? The original was shocking, then slightly boring. I'd recommend, though. But it's been like ten years. The remake is a remake, that's all. :p

the original, everything i ever heard about the movie, was just the first twenty minutes or so... it was well done and effective, but i already knew. i didn't expect it to be so soon into the movie, but i already knew where that was going. the movie after that was pretty dull.

I won't argue that Kinski's nudity did well for the rating. :P

Six movies today. No great new watches, but Copperhead is always fun to see again. Most disappointing movie was probably Queen of Blood, which, despite starring John Saxon, was boring as fuck, as the kids say.

Just finished writing up my review for it (instead of writing one review after each movie, I write all of them at the end of the day), and I gave it a 6/10. Interesting crime/horror mixed, but as okay as some of the proto-slasher additions were, the story, along with a few characters, didn't really do that much for me. Not terrible, but probably not something I'd go back to again any time soon.

Some solid topless women, though, so there's that. ;)

The movie is discussing feet out when sleeping. We had this discussion at work too the other day.
Weird how some people have to have their feet under the covers. That is just friggen weird. Always has to be feet out and can't hang over the bed or whatever lurks beneath will get them.

Monster is called Tic Tac?. Why not just call him Altoid. This thing better be scary or funny. Like a giant 7 foot orange turd.

Okay, last story was a step up but I'm not counting a midget with a foot fetish who fell in a mud puddle as scary.
