This story leaves off from it's previous sequel where Ripley escapes with Newt and Hicks in a space shuttle, while in hyper sleep the shuttle crashes severly injuring and killing Hicks and Newt.

Ripley realises later she's on a remote planet with a refinery inhabiting all male prison inmates. This is another film where the alien sneaks in and terrorizes again.

This makes a descent end to Ripley but not as impactful because it really just copies and paste the tone but they add a new alien. I felt Hicks should of lived long enough to face the new alien at least. It's a worthy watch but doesn't give off the fear it gave in the first two sequels.

It's an interesting approach of supernatural when Sean an old friend and former boyfriend of his now ex girlfriend brings a box that was meant for someone specific.

We learn Sean wanted a vengeance but got a more terrifying result of what you end up when going to great lengths for this.

I like the "don't keep your eyes off it" rule giving an awkward yet suspense feeling to the audience and characters. The acting is well performed on this type of story without under playing the situation. I would of liked to see more of that creepy suspense feeling from the man in the box instead of a brief moment.

It's a good scenario and a worthy of watching.

This being a remake of a classic film this just doesn't give much added edge, excitement or suspense.

Vince Vaughn played very well as Norman Bates but I felt he could of explored other actions Norman/Mother could of done. This would basically be a copy of what you've already watched giving no new ways of seeing the relationship between Norman and the girl or the people he meets and how mother would interject. Every scene and line in this film is basically exact which isn't a good thing in this case.

Even if you re paint a house you still have to make that existed house stand out and not re use the same texture.
