DO you want gore and plenty of it? do you want a physco doctor,a sexy girl who doesnt know which way is up;then this dvd will meet those requirements.I cant find a plausible story line at all its something about twins,but there is no good sensible story there. This is one of those second rate films that rely on a liberal amount of blood for the shock factor,a smattering of sex and not a very original theme of a hospital for mentally disturbed children. The acting is quite sub standard and i could very easily fall asleep through the whole film.The main characters are struggling to keep any of this together, I could easily have stopped watching long before the end , but gave it the benefit of the doubt by seeing it through, but after the first five minutes it turned out exactly as i thought it would, sub standard,ridiculous story line and I had no enjoyment out of watching this at all, i do not like to be so critical of things and find no pleasure in berating this film but i found this a total and utter waste of money.

Disappointing film, with a cheap made for TV feel to it, Vancouver again the setting, so def filmed on the cheap. Characters are two dimentional and have no redeaming qualities, not that you look for them in a horror film but you are left not even caring about the heroine. Stephen Rea is appauling in this outing and he can be such a good actor. The other cast members are equally ill at ease and those you recognise have all done better work. Have a copy of the original Margot Kidder version and really hope that was money better spent. We shall see.

One of the Top Ten Worst Movies of All Time
20 April 2008
I am still in shell-shock that people of quality such as Chloe Sevigny & Stephen Rea could even finish filming this piece of dog doo-doo, this thing is beyond horrid - there aren't enough words to convey how much this thing stunk! The movie starts out ok, steadily begins to make less & less sense, becomes just utterly non-sensical, and THEN takes a very sharp turn into pure absurd idiocy - and WAY over-the-top gore. NONE of it making any sense, mind you. NONE OF IT. Not the time structure of events, not the things taking place, and most assuredly not the moronic ending. I was quite angry that I'd spent $1.08 at my discount video to even rent it.

I wasted my $2.99

I Should have read the review before watching. As a fan of Brian DePalma, I was sure this would be worth watching. The ending is such a disappointment. This must have been a low budget firm.

Falls a little short
3 July 2008
Format:DVD
I loved the original of this movie by Brian DePalma. I own it and have watched it a number of times and still enjoy it. It is very original, tense and macabre.
This remake is lacking a bit. They took some liberties with the story, which didn't make a big difference until the ending. That's where everything took too big of a turn for my liking. They completely missed the point of the serum and left doors open for a follow up (which I hope they don't do).
All acting was done well. Sets were very good and cameras where excellent. No fast forwarding or multiple images, they kept it clean, which I do appreciate.
The music... that's another story. It didn't fit. It didn't help to build or keep tension as in the original. Another big piece of the puzzle missing.
I would recommend this movie only if you've seen the original. Otherwise, wait until it comes to television, which shouldn't be long.
