I didn't even look to see who was in it. so watching was quite the surprise.

For me, having seen Doll House and Angel, there were some very familiar faces, and well... I felt like I'd seen parts of this before.

On the one hand, I was sorta bummed, as I felt not a lot of effort had gone into making the movie, as they just rehashed some stuff they'd used on t.v. Though it was very well done, I must add.

On the other hand, watching with one who wasn't familiar in things from Mutant Enemy... it was a blast to see their reaction. They didn't know what to make of it. So far outside the realm of cookie cutter slasher/horror movies, I think it really toyed with their mind.

Hee hee. What a cool flick

Then I had a chance to watch w/ a lady friend, who was not at all versed in things Whendon, and I made the call. Blew her mind a bit, too. Hee hee.

I'll hold off on " Much Ado " too, for a time. So many familiar faces, it's tough to not watch.

Grrrr.

In due time, though... in due time.

Were you factoring in how long ago it was made? It did predate Dollhouse, didn't it?

Just sayin', some people are not impressed by Firefly because they've seen all of the cutting edge SFX everywhere in the past 12 years, all copied from Firefly.

Try watching the original Haunting.

Didn't Joss walk away from , or get replaced, from the movie ? That, or he wasn't allowed to fully develop what he wanted, I can't recall.

So, who would have played Buffy, if not SMG ?

Charisma was up for the part, wasn't she ?

Also, has Chelan Simmons, who I first recall from Wonderfalls ( Gretchen Speck-Horowitz ) , which was produced by Tim Minear.
