The Monkey's Paw

Fear is in the air... THE PAW!
I saw this film at a Horror Film festival in Los Angeles and it was a big hit! Really good production value for a low-budget independent film and a haunting interpretation of a time honored classic! The strength of the film is it's collection of solid performances. Watch indie actor Josh Burns as he gives a really good performance as the husband. What would YOU wish for with the Monkey's Paw? Be careful... YOU JUST MIGHT GET IT!!!

Spooky fun!!!
This is quite a treat. Great effects and cinematography and the acting is really quite good. Very epic and Tim Burton-esque. Not sure about the other comment on it being antiquated, unless she meant to review an older version. This is obviously newer with the cg effects that help give a spooktacular atmosphere. Being a fan of the short story, I was nicely surprised how faithful it is and how dramatic it took it. Definitely a good watch and a great piece to share with those just discovering the short story.

great remake
great movie, only short just 25 min...I remember the old black and white movie..both are very scary ....this remake done well...
