Movie Connections:

Remake of Gin gwai (2002)

What An Awful Remake(Although I Haven't Seen The Original)

I just watched this movie yesterday.I though that this movie was gonna be good and scary.But i was wrong,terribly wrong.The movie was boring,there were some scenes that made me jumped.And the rest of the just kept more boring,thanks to Jessica Alba.She called herself an actress,she can't even act!I'd like to see some talented actresses as Sydney Wells, like Sarah Michelle Gellar,Naomi Watts,Kate Hudson....Jessica was a bad choice for the female lead role.I would find and watch the original "Gin Wai" to see the different between an awful remake and an awesome original. I suggested you not to watch this piece of crap.
