I've had more scare-outs with this movie than I can ever remember having with any movie before. I think some of the teenagers are getting pressured into coming to see it along with their friends and don't know what they're getting into.

Friday: One girl came out fifteen minutes into the movie and called her mom to come and take her home.

Saturday: Two girls and a boy came to sit in the lobby for a while a couple of times during the show.

Sunday: Two girls called their dad and left about one hour into the show.

I've had scare-outs with some movies before, but not every single night.

(I even had one very small girl get scared out at the start of Pocahontas, believe it or not. The starting scene with the ships in the storm scared her.)

In Saskatchewan this movie is classified 14A. Maybe it should have been 18A.

On horror movies we almost always have one or two people come out and say it was "too much for me" but on this one, nobody has left yet, even the kids. We've had quite a few parents drop their little darlings off for the movie....hope they enjoy the colorful new vocabulary the kids will come home with!

SOmehow< i never watched the 90s mini series. I watched this at Atlantic Station IMAX.
Pretty good. I saw the mini series after I saw this movie and this movie improves on the childhood scenes.

I really hope the second part improves on the cheesy spider scene from the TV miniseries. Make it a little abstract in the movie version instead of some generic looking spider monster from a 50s era movie.
