You had me at “3-D boobs”….

Everyone here knows I don’t have overmuch taste for gore, and can take or leave gratutious nudity.  Even so, I have to say this guy seems to have the right frame of mind for this sort of thing.  Too bad they dumped the prehistoric angle, though (or so it sounds), which would be fresher than another government conspiracy.  It also would have been hilarious if that meant abnormally big beasties.  Maybe they’ll go in that direction, anyway.  I hope.  In any case, it’s my first “must see” movie for 2009.

    Aja…he did High Tension, right?

    I think this is a remake I’d actually take a chance on. Considering the track record of the ones I’ve seen, it’s pretty impressive to even get me considering a viewing of it.

    I’m going to expect a more serious version of the film, partly based on his past output, and partly because I think Aja is enough on the ball to know that trying to match Joe Dante at his own game is a fool’s errand (that game being a near-perfect mix of horror and humor [both light and dark], and most importantly a knowledge not only of the genre’s tropes, but the ability to play with them and give the audience subtle winks rather than beat them over the head with their “cleverness” [hello Scream].
