It was refreshingly interesting and intense. It didn't rely on juvenile gory or crude humor to keep me interested. Just good performances. Thoughts, anyone?

I don't think it was going for shock so much as suspense and a play on the supernatural. Again, refreshing in this day and age of scientific explanation of everything.

Although it was graphic at times, it never went overboard or had a feel of gore for the sake of gore. It was all strangely relevant and in context. For those who haven't seen it, check it out.

The movie is great, I think it's a really cool variation on the Wendigo myth. Great cast too, the scene with Robert Carlyle digging like a lunatic with his bare hands is pretty damn scary.

At the same time, I have to admit I picked up the box over the years and kept putting it back. I was afraid it was going to be boring. If it wasn't for a friend loaning copy, I may never have seen it.

I LOVE this movie and would LOVE a DVD re-release with all the bells and whistles, but will settle for an anamorphic release. My fanzine all about Rock N Roll: www.sonicruin.com

The existing US, UK and Australian releases are fairly well supplied with bells and whistles - three commentary tracks, deleted scenes and so forth - and I doubt we'll get much more than this. The UK and Australian discs are anamorphic.

I rented the DVD on release and went out and bought my own copy the very next day... I love the wilderness scenery (very familiar to me, raised in the Canadian Rockies and all), the soundtrack, the off-beat characterizations...
