Pretty much- I miss Harry- I can understand why they did away with him (I'm glad it wasn't for a stupid reason like them wanting a tough cigar smoking buff man chick thinking that's 'P.C.') but the character changes work, the actors in their parts work, the script works, its creepy, its scary, its a great movie. Although they don't completely ignore the modern day novelties. Definitely proves that old school can be more scary than technology. It was much more realistic to use people rather than complete CGI characters.

but this movie was scary, well acting, well written, and I loved the monsters. Normally I hate horror movies because they're more ridiculous than scary. it was a pretty creepy film, and the only horror movie that actually got my pulse to race. I saw a sneak peek where most of the movie goers did a lot of gasping and clutching of their friends or dates, covering of eyes. they did a very good job portraying the intensity, the scary and sometimes disturbing nature of the movie. the actors they picked to portray the characters were superb. while he was a cool character (From a girl perspective) he was kind of a wuss. (Harry Mason to Rose for Example.) I totally understand how Harry wouldn't cross over well. I wasn't as disturbed by the changing of the characters as I thought I'd be. However Most of my friends never played the game either, and they still enjoyed the movie very much. I can see how this movie could present a problem to those who are non-gamers. I have a feeling the person who gave this movie one star was someone who did not play the video game, maybe even did not realize it was based on a video game. Someone said worst movie ever- dude- ever see UltraViolet or Scary movie? Please easily those are the worst movies that should NEVER have been made.
