i have see the beginning of this movie when i be a lot young on television . and see it a a young kid and i have to admit the opening scene scar the crap out of me . so when i saw this movie on the shelf in the video store a few month ago and they have just re release it on dvd due to the remake be in theater at the time i quickly pick it up . when i bring it home i begin to watch it and and i have to admit the opening scene and while not as scary a i remember and still hold up a be a truly terrifying moment in the film . now i wish i could say that the rest of the film hold up to what the opening scene have provide for the viewer . after the opening and the film go around and show the story of the stranger from earlier in the film and who have now be release from prison and want to start his life over again . now while this would have be a good premise for a thriller in the drama section and it seem really out of place in the horror section . watch the stranger go to a bar and get in a fight and would be excite in any other movie and if you actually care about the character involve and if it help the plot move forward . but watch the film i wish i have be call by a stranger just so i could have have something to do while this sloooooooooooooow movie go on . and while the end scene do almost match the opening scene in it creepiness and the rest of the movie be not enough to make a viewer sit and watch the rest of the film . so if you rent this movie and my advice be to either not watch it and cause it be really a pretty big waste of your time and or to watch the opening scene and and then fast forward to the end scene . maybe at least that would trick you into believe that you be actually watch a good movie .
