I never saw the first one. I heard it wasn't good, but I will reserve judgement until I see it.

I heard it wasn't good but watched it anyway- there was a local kid in it- Cameron Bright (who was also on SG-1). I thought is was pretty good- it was actually quite creepy with a solid story. A sequal would probably be terrible though. The story was wrapped up, there's no need to continue it- even with different characters. Actually a sequal with all different characters is already usually terrible anyway. They shouldn't do it at all.....but that's crazy hollywood people.

It wasn't a bad movie, but definitely not sequel worthy.

Hollywood has a problem. They are being way too conservative with their movies and banking on sequels way too much. After three or so years of it, it's time to move on. There's nothing wrong with an original script.

Loved the first movie; it was among the top 3 movies I watched in 2005. Actually, my sister had just bought the DVD then, and after watching it with her, I irrationally thought I-HAVE-TO-BUY-THE-DVD!!!

But I don't think it would make a good sequel.

I agree, where are the unique movies? My favourite movies of 2004 were Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Lost In Translation. Two wonderfully unique scripts, and Lost In Translation anyway, was VERY cheap to make and quick to shoot. WHEN are the Holleywood people going to realize that quality films will get people to the theater.....not the rubbish that they are spewing out at the moment.

This is pretty much where I'm at with this one. I enjoyed the first movie. Sure, the plot's been done before, but I thought it brought an original take on it and it was inventive and well done. But I'm not sure why they would think a sequel was necessary as there didn't seem to me to be any loose ends left dangling.
