Have you fella's seen the trailer for this? It's based on a 1983 tome that I have yet to read but want to.

I'm very likely going to plunk down the dough to see this in the theater, whereas usually I skip out on that step. Around "these parts" the theaters don't play stuff I want to see and it's gotten too costly for tickets.

There's so much entertainment I like to buy and KEEP to listen to and read later. Still, this is one that I'll gladly drop $8+ on and hope to stay away from reviews until I get a chance to see it.

Here's the trailer!

My wife and I saw this on opening night. It was a fantastic, traditional ghost tale.

What did you think?

I was a little too unforgiving of it for having too many "BOO!"-style cheap scares, but I did really enjoy myself. Except for all the gummi-penguins I ate. Bleargh. The atmosphere was top-notch all the way!! Very nice film to look at, and it had a lot of creepy-cool moments. I think the cheap scares were distracting me and taking me out of the moment, more than anything.

I also enjoyed that it had a happy ending
