Im in! And I am pretty sure I saw this before but I can't remember any of it. Isn't it a remake of a Spanish language film?

Haha this IS a Spanish language film. Didn't they make an English remake?

I think someone has the rights to make an English language version, but it hasn't been made yet.

Kudos to GrumpyDan for keeping to the schedule without needing a bunch of needling and prompting. Make sure you get the next person lined up by Friday when you post the discussion post.

Good movie, too.

Oooh, this is one of my favourite horror movies. Such a simple little story, and there are no special effects at all, and yet it's truly horrifying. That little boy in the sack mask is the creepiest thing ever.
