It's a safe dumb film for safe dumb audiences.
February 16, 2006
The original should have been a short film; the new version shouldn't exist at all.
February 13, 2006
This version is a thin, protracted study in shifting Hollywood strategies.
June 24, 2006
If you've seen either Black Christmas or Halloween, there's nothing new here: the hyped-up score keeps telling us we ought to be scared, but the suspense feels mechanical and fake.
February 11, 2006
A production that never comes close to realizing its potential to tweak the viewer's primal fears.
May 27, 2006
No plot, no originality, no stars -- and no reason for you to go and see this crap.
May 16, 2006
You know a horror movie's in trouble when the fake scares outweigh the real ones.
May 27, 2006
...just as needless a remake as one might've expected.
April 20, 2009
Amateurish direction by Simon West ("Laura Croft: Tomb Raider") contributes to the utter failure of this pathetic update of the original film of the same title.
May 13, 2006
I can't help feeling that this updating could have been a little more imaginative -- the only wrinkle on the basic plot is that it uses mobile phones.
February 18, 2006
The film is not quite suspense-free, but almost. When finding a dead body underwater isn't scary, something is very wrong.
February 11, 2006
If there's a single dead-wrong instinct in this movie that isn't pursued with the blind determination of an amorous terrier during high-scent season, darned if I can remember it.
