A young girl, Mari, and her friend are brutally tortured by a group of strangers and left for dead. Soon after the group gets caught in a terrible rain storm that leads them to take refugee in the nearest house which just happens to be the house of Mari's parents. When the parents stumble upon the events that took place and become aware that the culprits are lying dormant in their home they begin to exact their revenge. This is one of the best remakes I have seen. It takes all of the good elements of the original film and escalates them to a level that you don't expect. From the beginning to the end, this film has a thrill level that just goes through the roof. Monica Potter and Tony Goldwyn as the parents of the young girl play their parts so well that you literally feel as if these are real people and you even feel bad for them because of what they are going through. You desperately want them to win. This film is a great re-imagining of the 1970's classic and it kept on the edge of my seat as a fantastic horror thriller.
