Revealing mistakes: When Burton is attempting to tune in a station on his stock AM radio, a station comes in loud and clear with the creepy broadcast. He looks out the window and the view is of - not a longwire AM antenna system, but rather a tower with FM repeaters.

Good Movie

In Gatlin, Nebraska 1963, a boy preacher preaches out a group of children about He Who Walks Behind The Rows and what he expects them to do. Twelve years later, a married couple, Burt and Vicki head out on the road when they soon struck a young boy whose throat was apparently slit. They soon drive to Gatlin when they realize that the town is deserted of all adults and is a home to a cult of children who leads this lovely couple down a path to their own doom.

This was a really good movie. The acting was great, the children were awesome, and it's an incredible live up to the short story. To me, this movie is somewhat better than the original film itself. It's really not that much of a remake of the original, it's like a completely different movie. I guarantee more people will like this movie because I sure did.
