"There's just something about this film that makes us watch it over and over again -- discussing, analyzing endlessly. Put it away for a while, but there you are again making new friends watch it so you can hear their comments as well. This is a film that definitely deserves a place in your collection. But, beware... You may also find yourself wondering: What IS IT about this movie?"
"This is extremly well done. the scenery shots are magnificent. The story is a wonderful variation on several old ghost/haunting stories combined with a new twist. Great family film."
"Anyone thinking the unrated version is going to have extended motel or pool scenes will be sorely disappointed in this 'unrated' version. I think there was maybe one extra scene. The difference in the two can be summed up using an expression of Adam Sandler's, 'Big Whoppedee Do'.So if you have the 'R' version already, save your $15 bucks."
"I am normally not a fan of horror films, but I saw some of the reviews of this one and decided to rent it, and did not regret doing so. It is now part of my collection. What made it enjoyable were:1. Director Wes Craven's way of poking fun of horror film conventions.2. A good script by Kevin Williamson.3. Above all, excellent performances by the ensemble cast. Neve Campbell is really the lead (although only third billed) and she is a superb heroine--sympathetic but also tough when she has to be. She is supported by great performances from Courteney Cox, David Arguette, Rose McGowan and Jamie Kennedy, while Drew Barrymore is superbly terrified in the opening scene.I greatly enjoyed this movie and was glad to add it to my collection."
"I love this movie! It's charming, fun, and actually has a decent message behind all the special effects.In response to people who were less than complimentary:1. I am not the normal demographic for the film (my own high school days being far behind me).2. Don't confuse Wicca and Witchcraft.3. This is a Hollywood movie and a horror/comedy to boot. Are we holding it to higher standards than, say, 'Big Trouble In Little China'?4. If you don't think witchcraft is real, see number three.5. If you think your religion was smeared or degraded, see number three.6. If this isn't what 'real' witches do, see number three."
"Upon finding out there were some scenes (20 seconds all together) cut out of this version, I went on a hunt for a complete version, I brought an import (region 2) version to get the whole movie and for everyone whos wondering, there is no real big difference, I actually like this version better, so just warning everyone else not to waste time looking for a complete version because it's definatly not worth it."
