Jennifer Carpenter deserves an Academy Award for this film... I've seen Oscars given to actors for far less. When she truly begins to panic, you can feel it - you FEEL it. She's absolutely stellar... The premise, scary enough, is brought to fruition at her will... A performance for the ages.
I was terrified and continuously shaken by her scenes toward the end of this film. She delivered the realness of it...Her loss of control and absolute terror runs right up your spine. Nothing like it out there... They call Jamie Lee Curtis the scream queen, but she's got nothing on Jennifer Carpenter. Every terrified breath is felt. Every movement and jitter is yours to feel. She just completely comes to life.
I've never seen the original, and I don't need to. This film delivers. Absolute horror. I salute the director and the cast.. This is a staple in my collection.
