It&#8217;s one of my favorite horror films, and my favorite kind&#8230; lots of suspense with a powerful ending. The remake stars Nicholas Cage, and instead of taking place on a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides, it&#8217;s set in Washington state. Really? When I think of ancient druidic cults, Spokane does not come to mind. And another thing, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0450345\/\">IMDB<\/a> has the remake as being rated PG-13 for &#8220;disturbing images and violence, language and thematic issues.&#8221; Sounds like they&#8217;re  passing on the dancing nubile pagans with their naked jubblies all aflutter. Big mistake, five demerits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (trailer) I love Borat, but this looks a bit scripted.
