So: has anyone seen it? It made $5 million on Friday (with a smaller-than-usual theater count), which sets it up for a respectable opening weekend. The reviews, however, are not kind. An odd casting choice: Margaret Cho plays the cop on the case. My God, the Hilary Duff rumor is going to come true.

In my opinion, it looks like another typical Japanese horror film straight to America like The Ring, The Grudge, and Pulse. Cant say much since I havent seen it yet, but I'll tell you my opinion after I see it.

Posts: 459 Group: Newspaper Reporter Member #75 Joined: 03/15/07	OK, so took in $13.5 million over the weekend. That might not seem like much, but it's all a quickie cheapo horror film needs to be a hit; a film's domestic grosses typically amount to three times the opening weekend, which will be more than enough to cover the low budget. (Wikipedia alleges that the movie cost $30 million.) Add in DVD, and Vallette performed to expectations. The film even had the highest per-theater gross this weekend - meaning, it perhaps could've taken in more had it been released in more locales. It was up against a few juggernauts (National Treasure, I Am Legend, (blech) Alvin and the Chipmunks), so it's a respectable performance all-in-all.

Just looks like another quick cash-in remake for the studios to gain some more dough because they think we'll consume anything.

No, I'm not kidding, they filmed at least a couple scenes in Atlanta, I was someone in a crowd looking at a dead body, no idea if I'm in the credits or on the cutting room floor, because I have not seen the movie, but hey, I got a hundred bucks for sitting around for about six hours to be shot, and then another 2 (After two meals) of hanging around waiting for the shoot. The Glorious life of an extra, if I get it on DVD and can see myself, I promise a picture.

Posts: 1,243 Group: Hospital Director Member #73 Joined: 03/13/07	Haha, I didn't expect quite so epic of levels of winage coming my way from just being an extra in a horror flick. As far as how mangled the body was, well, they didn't have a body to look at it was more of a "Look over here, and make lip talk with this guy." This of course, ended up in me (Without even my knowledge of it, since I couldn't see the bloody thing) looking right into the camera in one take, and getting scolded by one of the AD's I think my hair was a bit longer at the time, but I'm sure I'll know me if I see me, chances are it'd be a short shot if I'm in it atr all, but still, being in the shoot was fun.
