I agree the first 8 minutes or so was simply awsome. Very tense and very atmospheric, most horror movies have a slow intro, were you get attached to your main characters, but boom little girl, then husband, GREAT!! just like the original was, starts in a panic. Also the Johnny Cash song, "The Man Comes Around" was perfect. After the song started my friend turned to me in the theater and yelled Jesus Christ!! REally loud, we new we were in for a treat!
