Just re-watched this for the first time in 15 plus years.(It's on Amazon Prime).

I forgot how good this was. This is a movie I wouldn't mind seeing Blumhouse or someone update/reboot.

Love this movie. Haven’t seen it in years but I went into it kinda blind and it surprised me so much with how awesome it was.

Around 2003, I don’t remember why we watched it other than it was randomly on HBO or something. I didn’t know what it was about beforehand.

But when it ended, my roommate and I were both like “damn that was pretty good , I did not see that coming”.

Would have made a good hbo style limited series too. Just a one-off, about 6 esomeone. If still 2001.. Keep McConaughey, Paxton..get Ethan Hawke to play the brother.

Great movie. Do not reboot it. This mindset that everything needs to be redone is stupid. If something is great then let it be great.

Wonderful movie that I love to recommend to people, because not many have seen it. It's been a decade at least since I watched it last. Might be time to dust off the DVD...

I'm honestly surprised more people haven't seen it. I suppose it's classified as a horror movie, and that may be the reason it's not as popular as it should be. Really good movie, now I want to rewatch it too

No reason to reboot perfection.

Paxton wrote, directed AND starred in this gem.

A legit great ending that I did not see coming.

Anytime I am using an axe, I mention to whomever I’m with that we should name it Otis, and they never understand.

This is film is one of my 3 favorite "not many have seen it" films.

The other two are Miracle Mile with Anthony Edwards and House of Games with Joe Mantegna.

Like a lot of people, it was a movie I watched with no idea what it was about or any expectations. Fantastic movie. It's a shame Bill is gone. Son of a son of a bitch.

own this on DVD (dont own many) just because it was so obscure and hard to find, and i ended up lending it to so many people to watch it too. such a cool movie that is perfect mix of suspense/horror/thriller without really falling into any one of those
