Night Elf Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Has anyone seen this yet? Is it as good as the original? I hate scary movies but I managed to get through the original and enjoy it. I'm really curious what they've done to the modern version though. I can't make up my mind if I should go see it in the theater or wait until I can watch at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I wouldn't watch it, I can't stand movies like that. I opened the thread because I thought maybe you had one you needed to get rid of, lol. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Isle Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I still remember watching the original as a kid and it freaked me out. :( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened the thread because I thought maybe you had one you needed to get rid of, lol. I'd move. Of course, I'd have to stay if it took my dd but I remember an old Eddie Murphy comedy scene where he said white people were wrong. They walk into a house and hear GET OUT and they wonder what they've heard and go on in. I watched Dracula 2015 this morning and the girl running from Dracula ran into a cemetery. DH laughed and said if that wasn't a stereotypical horror move, he didn't know what was. I normally don't do scary movies but I was drawn into that one this morning. I wanted to see how it ended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I still remember watching the original as a kid and it freaked me out. :( It was the clown scene that did me in. I have never been able to look at a clown doll without thinking of that movie scene. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Clowns are evil. That movie scarred me. I do remember the Eddie Murphy skit. It was very funny. My son might be seeing it tomorrow with friends. I have no need to go see it. The original was enough for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsunshine Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The original was so good, I can't see how it can be topped. :confused1: But I'll listen in to hear what others think of it.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night Elf Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Sorry, the only ghost we have is one named George. As the kids grew up, we always blamed weird things on George. He followed us when we moved. :tongue_smilie: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommybee Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I plan on seeing it but I don't expect it will be as good as the original. I'm kind of curious myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I loved the original as a child. It definitely scared me, but I still watched it on several different occasions. I plan to see the new one, but I'll be waiting for it to come out on DVD/Blu Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 It has Sam Rockwell in it. :D I'd love to see it, but rarely pay to go to the movies and am holding out for Jurassic World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely seeing that too. Ds said he would go with me, and he rarely watches movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Poltergeist was the beginning of my fear of clowns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Well, I saw the movie today. It was really good but I think I like the original better. Obviously there were some good side effects which made it fun to watch. It wasn't nearly as scary as dd and I thought it would be. We were prepared for a lot more 'jump out in your face' type moments. There were a few but we found the rest of the movie much less intense than we imagined. I'd see it again and I do recommend it if you enjoyed the first one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momacacia Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I could never watch it. We watched the new Paddington movie tonight and a had scared little girl at bedtime. I just don't see much else in our near future. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I am still afraid of thunderstorms. One-one-thousand, two-one-thousand... I think a tree will come in and get me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 I am still afraid of thunderstorms. One-one-thousand, two-one-thousand... I think a tree will come in and get me. In the current movie, the little boy's bedroom is in the attic with a skylight. The tree is directly above his bed. I am thankful I don't have skylights in my house. But they don't do the storm counting thing in this movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
