Which one? There are a few films out there with that title. If it's the 2009 film with Elizabeth Banks it is a remake of the Korean horror A Tale Of Two Sisters....... and not a very good one either. It's not terrible, it just does the usual thing of sucking most of the atmosphere out of the story. I know because I rented it a while back.

Though, to be fair, it does have Elizabeth Banks in it. And Emily Browning. So it wasn't all bad!

Actually, I thought it was one of the very best "Remade From An Oriental Horror Film" efforts there has been. Still not up to the quality of the original, but better than most remakes.

Ordered Gory Gory Hallelujah today. Looks like it could be pretty fun, at least.

The Wild Bunch, Soldier Blue and Once Upon A Time In The West are my all-time favourite westerns.

I bought Nightmare City last week (the AB version). Very entertaining I must say, especially the ending! (I wouldnt place it up there with Fulci's Zombi 2 though).

ps. Whats the deal with anchor bay and blue underground. Im probably way behind the times here; as far as I know AB are still running but BU have released most of their back catalogue. Why is that??

BU also submitted Snuff in 2003 (which passed uncut) though it still hasn't received a UK release.
