Something about this movie just totally makes me want to crap my pants every time I talk about it. Usually, talking about it accompanies actually having seen a preview or a trailer or, in this case, a sneak peek, and this time is no different. I mean, come on: cobwebbed gargoyles! Creepy apparitions lurking in windows! Self-destructing photos! Rocking chairs!
February 2012? You better get your ass here fast is all I can say.
I dunno. It looks like it could be … the diplomatic way to say it is dry.
I grew up in and around old houses in a place that still doesn’t have dirt roads. They aren’t spooky to me, but then again, I don’t spook easily.
I haven’t read the book, but it probably won’t be on my list.
However, it is being made by hammer films. I have respect for the studio of old, but some Dutch guy bought it a couple of years ago. They did a remake of a favorite of mine: “Let the Right One In”. If you want a creepy and interesting movie, watch that one. (Not the Hammer remake, the original.)
I’m a fan of the Harry Potter franchise, but I’m not sure Daniel was the right choice for this. I won’t say I don’t think he _could do it_, but I have my doubts.
Oh, and I didn’t see any gargoyles. I did see the “see, hear, speak no evil” monkeys which looked like they were embalmed.
