And really, actor Mary Elizabeth Winstead, as Kate Lloyd, does such a great job, she saves this film... to the mild level it reaches. The film lost money (Budget: $35 mil, Boxoffice $32). As we see so often, it was a missed opportunity.

I wish Mary Elizabeth Winstead made an original horror movie instead of that Thing remake. I still haven't seen those Cloverfield movies and I'm looking forward to the second and third ones. Also she's in a remake of a French zombie revival type TV show that I'll check out eventually.
Friday the 13th Remake Killer Cut -
I saw the original cut some type ago. I finally saw the so called Killer Cut and it made no difference to me. I still don't like the movie and will never watch it again.
