Does not bring anything new to the table. Acting is flat and uninspired. Situations are predictable and contrived...such as...Jill is knocked to the floor by the killer, Jill grabs a bottle of booze and throws it at the fire place, killer throttles Jill as she also managers to grab the remote control for the fireplace, find the right button, presses it, and light the fireplace all the while getting the life choked out of her. There are other instances throughout the film where Jill, who didn't even know how to get to the house she was to baby sit at knew how to work instantly the phones, the security system, the fire place, the watering system...but the owners never even met her before or took time to show her how this stuff worked.

And, as for parents, why do you put your kids down for a nap right before bedtime? Wouldn't you want them tired so they would sleep through the night?

My advice...AVOID

Bill Lenz (Robert Mann) was a psychopathic child who would love to murder and had a rare skin disease that made him yellow like a Simpsons character. He molested his mother and she had an inbreded child that would become his sister/daughter and years later he gets locked up in a mental ward where he now escapes to go back to his home. Soriety sisters Dana (Lacey Chabert), Melissa (Michelle Tracthenberg), Keli (Katie Cassidy) and Heather (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) are now owners of the house that belong to Billy's family once now purchased by the local university. It seems Billy is on a rampage making prank calls in the house and causing all sorts of gory mayhem to some of the sisters and guests.

Unneccesery remake of a brilliant 1974 Canadian horror classic from Bob Clark is quite a watchable and very violent one. James Hong ("Final Destination") directs this version with Clark as producer, the film co-stars Andrea Martin in an appearence who starred in the original movie. The original was more of a Hitchcock Psycho-esque thriller that inspired "Halloween" and many slasher movies for years to come, this one is more of a "Friday The 13th"-esque gorefeast of grueling scenes like cannibalism, eyeball mutilation that would make Fulci smile and more. The acting isn't too bad and it's a watchable remake but inferior to the original movie.

This DVD contains the unrated cut with more violence not shown in the theatrical version and has some decent extras like a featurette, a filmmaker's journal, deleted scenes and 3 alternate endings.
