Why all this spoiling? SPOILERS... maybe

I think this is going to be a little sleeper hit, and a pretty good chiller, but all the promorional material spoils the movie an awful lot, especially the one-sheet, revealing that Stephanie finds Ellie alive (as opposite to the original in which Jane finds Cathy dead) and they manage to escape. The only surprise will probably be the role of Michael, even though the description makes me think he's a good guy - and I think it would be too easy to have him as a bad guy - helps Stephanie and Ellie get away and cures Stephanie's 'heartbreak'.

I'm happy to hear you think it's going to be a sleeper hit -- we're all very excited about it too! Regarding spoilers, I can tell you in all honesty that the one sheet gives nothing away.

While we tried to stay as true to the original as possible, it's a movie from a different era so we wanted to make it accessible and realistic to today's audiences. That said, I think you'll be quite pleased because there are twists and surprises and other characters that I think will excite everyone...

If you are from the production company (sounds like it), would you perhaps have any release dates for Germany, as I've been looking forward to this film for quite a while now?

Thanks so much in advance, and good luck at the box office!

Grammar nazi and a hater all in one! Good for you that you found the internet, where you can share your opinions, and the public can't do a damned thing to stop you!

Uhh there's nothing to spoil in this film. It's the most generic Thriller ever made. Ironic, since it has absolutely zero thrills. The one-sheet was honestly more thought provoking than the entire film. Even Mr. Personality, Karl Urban, can't bring it above a strong E+ grade, and the + is only because they actually got a film made.

It's destitute of any narrative, subplots, characterizations, intrigue, thrills, chills, spills, and/or anything remotely interesting that could be in a film. The set locations are equally meandering, alternatingly Southern Cali vistas and un-used set pieces from Book of Eli.

I can't recommend skipping this film enough.

Just spoil it to death and prevent people from having to watch it
