This one baffles me:
I mean, as far as I can tell, Jim Morrison died like at least 2 years before this movie was even made. Hell, probably more than that. So, like, he couldn't possibly have seen it, let alone give some obscure praise(?) to it. Things known and unknown, huh, Jim? Yeah, put down the bong and get your ass back into that tub. Seriously, now. How is that quote gonna make me buy this DVD? Where's the big bold Siskel & Ebert "Two Thumbs Up!" plastered on the front? That would make me buy it, no questions asked.
Idiots in marketing.

It honestly DID make me "Forget The Matrix".
At least this didn't have bullsh!t CGI with five thousand Hugo Weavings.

Instead of just dismissing it as a clone, you should check Equilibrium out. It really is quite a good film.

I just watched Wes Craven Presents They, and as soon as it finished I thought about this thread and knew I had to post. The quotes are "Terrifying...don't see it alone" -ABC-TV, "Terror-filled...a must see!" Wireless Magazine and "One of the most terrifying endings in recent memory!" -New York Daily News. The movie was BORING, stupid and awful. This was the first blind buy I've watched so far (I have plenty more) that I really regretted getting even though it was only $7.99. :thumbsdown:

I'm glad I did see it alone...I wouldn't want any friends or family to endure that.

I can't believe no one's posted this one.

Yeah, they had contracted this one out to Anchor Bay, but that contract expired this year (and it is currently out-of-print). Disney is reissuing the title in February, although I believe it is missing the Fairuza Balk intro and interview.
