    Do yourself a favor - skip this crappy film and rent the original, which at least plays as an unintentional campy comedy.

    It's not bad. The original version is better than the newer remake. Sure the remake has better effects but the acting is better in the first one.

    Oh my god and Satan and whatever you want.
    This must be the most racist, stupid and sentimental garbage Iv'e seen in years.
    and still I watch it.
    I must stop watching this crap.
    A disaster movie where you with full heart wish a fast painfull death for every charachter presented....( read more)
    And racist, yes, memoreble scene,:
    Stupid hero in beginning of movie, looks around on waiters, cleaners and staff and says to himself in disgust, "there must be at least 50 diffrent kind of foreigners here", asuming them all to be terrorists with no other desire than to kill happy american tourists for the fun of it."
    and the scene where the pretty girl tears up her dress to make scarfs? oh god.. and satan... Let me just die in peace..
