I don't know, I thought it was. It seemed fake that they would record all the stuff before they went to Michigan or whereever to try and find them.

I'm a little later watching this but I absolutely loved it and I have to find the soundtrack. This probably has to be one of my all time favorite musicals.

I've had this on my netflix instant queue for a while, but have been really hesitant to watch it...I'll definitely check it out sooner than later now.

iunno, people record themselves doing everything already. But i see what your saying. I still thought it was a sweet movie, in a really sad way

And it does hold up really well to repeat viewings.

You see I think The Orphanage works on so many more levels and has elements of a ghost story, marital drama, suspense, mystery, twists and some wonderful set pieces and I have watched it 3 times and still find much to enjoy whereas The Others has a feel of contemporary British ghost stories that are two-a-penny and I have seen similar in terms of tonality many times before either through TV or cinema.

Each to their own I guess and that's not to say The Others is a bad film either. I just found it lacking in originality.

Anyhoo. I have been looking for this film for years and now I have joined an online rental site, I found it available for streaming tonight:

Despite having a slightly dodgy storyline, this holds up really well. I was impressed by Micheal Nouri's performance when I saw it around ten years ago and it's still very good and the action hasn't dated at all.

One of the better 80's B movies that slipped under the radar.

I thought it was pretty great too. I actually did some more research and decided it's real. There's an interview with the

Spoiler for :

on ABC, so I'm pretty sure it's legit now. Either way, good movie.

Oh man, I haven't seen that movie in forever. I remember really liking it though.

As I said, it still holds up really well and with a few tweaks it could be made into a really good remake.

In an odd sort of way I was hoping it sucked so I could lose this albatross of nostalgia but not so. It is still decent. Claudia Christians ass FTW.

British frame story horror film with Peter Cushing. Aside from the obviously dated and comical special effects, it was a pretty captivating watch.
