Claim: The two films have no tangible connection that a casual observer would make had their titles been obfuscated.

To the OP:
There was absolutely nothing boring about this film-obviously you expected another full-on monsterfest like the originalno spoilers, but I will say it's more like a mystery than anything else, and yeah, the acting and suspense was top notch. I did like the unique approach of this from said original (which I saw years ago) even though it sort of reminded me of other films similar to it. That didn't take away from my enjoyment of the film,though. It's more dramatic at first, but it starts kicking some real a** towards the end,though. I do wonder why the hell it took so long to come out,thoughit's been 8 years since the original. I kind of recall folks speculating about a sequel, but nothing more. Liked Mary Elizabeth Winstead here doing most of the action (also like a recent show she starred in called BRAINDEAD, which also had a more comedic take on aliens of a different form in it) and John Goodman is usually worth watching in nearly everything he's inhis presence alone sometimes can guarantee that a film he's in is going to be good. The other actor was creepy as hell in a good indie horror film called HUSH, in which he played the villain.
