The remake! 😉

It's a fantastic movie. I remember the first time I saw it when I was fairly young and it freaked the hell out of me.

Watched it at the cinemas when it was released. Went to a midnight showing with a buddy. The theater was half full and we sat a row close to the back row.

A weird guy in a trench coat shows up. He sits down at the right end side of the back row, twisting and turning in his seat before ending up in a slight hunched over position.

I didn't think much about it until halfway through the movie. My friend leans over and says, "Check the weirdo in the back." I glance over and see the guy slowly rise and just stand there, staring at the movie screen.

No sound. No movement. Just like a statue. He stays like that for several minutes before returning to his hunched down position.

That made the whole movie experience even freakier for us.
