I was really excited for this, hoping it would make a piece of crap movie into something bearable. It does, to some extent, but I still can’t stand this movie. With the exception of Unbreakable, it’s still my least favorite Shamalamdingdong movie.
Also: when Joaquin Phoenix is talking to Sigourney Weaver about her box, it then goes to another shot of them talking – there is a very noticeable jump cut there, with a shot from the removed scene still visible for a split second.
And one thing that should have been removed that wasn’t was when the girl goes to the woods to get the medicine, they still have with them the “magic stones” that her father told her about (in the theatrical version.) because that scene was removed, reference to the magic stones should also have been removed from the edit.
Otherwise, though, I was much happier with the REAL THREAT EDIT than I was with the theatrical version. Not having the “twist” of the creatures being fake made the movie much more tolerable, since it was such a shoddy twist to begin with.
3 stars.

i’m surprised this edit isn’t reviewed much more highly. i agree that there are some continuity issues (magic rocks, sister being killed in an “alley”, etc.) but as a fanedit, the idea is perfect. execution could be slightly improved, but overall very few changes would need to be made for this to be finished.
this edit has an intensity not experienced with the original and is an obvious improvement. mr. shamalamadingdong can’t make a gimmick-free movie and thanks to voodl, we have one!

I echo the above reviews. I liked this movie, but felt very betrayed in how the “twist” (“What a twist” – think Robot Chicken) was revealed and executed. I was excited to DL this movie and watch it. It was exactly what I expected it to be and enjoyed it. I also enjoy the original, but this is edit is the better of the two.

I didn’t mind the twist ending. What irritated me was that the reveal of the twist WAS NOT AT THE END! It was just shortly past the halfway point and it totally deflated all the tension in the film.
Talk about you premature revelations! We didn’t need to see all the explanations and machinations on the plan, but a simple reveal, followed by a quick explanation and yer done!
