It has stuff going in reverse, reeeaally evilly. If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will.

So the two priests, Fathers Spiletto (who convinced Thorne to take Damian as his baby) and Brennan (who later warned Thorne and got skewered by a lightning rod) are characters in this.

I welcome this. The originals scared the living shit out of me when I was a kid - mainly the f'n score.

I still need to watch the remake as well.

You kind of don't. As I remember it, it was like a Gus Van Sant's Psycho. A carbon copy remake. Literally the only reason this movie was made was so it could get a 06/06/06 release date.

That reads 'zero men', which as we all know means box office poison.

This is out this weekend. The social media embargo lifted last week and word sounds positive.

Review embargo lifts on the 4th.

Hmm, I didn’t have much interest in this initially but the positive reviews are swaying me.
