People who didn't like this movie...

..probably have very short attention spans. They probably expected to see blood and guts. Maybe they wanted the killer to be running around chopping heads off and stabbing people. It's possible that they also wanted gruesome dead bodies popping out of closets and tons of screaming. And finally, they most likely waited to see Jill and Tiffany get naked and make out, then get killed. Because THAT'S what makes a good horror!

You're dumb.

This movie was very good for the very fact that it WASN'T the typical whore-or movie. It was actually more suspense than anything.

When you go into a movie expecting certain things to happen, you will almost always be let down. Some of you need to chill out!

Um ... you're incredibly wrong. I didn't like it because it was *beep* stupid and so are you.

It was not the best movie, but it was alright to watch once. And I don't get why people say, the original was that much better. The beginning was really thrilling, the ending a bit, but between those 15-20 minutes thrill were an hour+ boredom.

The reason everyone hates this movie is because it was a sucky movie made for money. I have no idea what you are talking about, there was absolutely no suspense in this movie. Nothing happened at all; for half of the movie, she was walking around because she heard noises. It was so lazy because there was practically no script or thought. The killer was not even a scary person because he didn't do anything for the first hour. The only reason that this movie was green lighted is because whomever produced it knew that teenagers would go see any PG-13 horror movie they released.

This film was as generic as they come, complete with a protagonist played by an awful actress which ruined the movie.

People should be asking themselves, what was so scary about the original though? Why do people praise it so much? This one was better in every way- budget, scares, more attractive lead, scares, the children, the call, the music,the killer etc.

So we are dumb because we don't like this cesspool of a movie? Name calling like a little punk you are. I would wish for you to say that to someone's face and get your teeth knocked out. This movie is stupid, filled with cliches.

"Doors locked, alarm on, then you're safe". Yea that's what the cop said, instead of doing his job. "Check on the kids", not once did she do it. The girl on the phone with the cop and she sounded like she's going to have a heart attack after a couple of calls. Can we say bad overreacting acting right there? She's a runner, but she's out of breath talking on the phone, how stupid is that? Why didn't she think to go grab a knife after the she found out the caller can see her?

There's so many plot holes in the movie, enough to fill the people's disappointment in it.
