Moving on...

1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS or DVD?
Saw it in the theaters with my brothers

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?
I had heard that there was a spoiler from the previews

3 - How was your first viewing experience? Did the "twist" make you jump out of the seat?
I really enjoyed the movie and its scares but i predicted the twist on the way to the theater so it didnt shock me.

4 - How many times have you re-watched it since?
Once or twice

5 - Any special memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
There was something wrong with the particular reel that was sent to that theater as the boom mic could clearly be seen during many shots and not even subtly. During the scene in the classroom where Cole is talking about the people being hanged in the school, the boom mic stretched across the entire shot extremely visible. Me and my brothers could not contain our laughter during that scene and probably annoyed a few people but it remains something that the three of us still talk about.
