Taking from another movie.

So what do you think this episode is pretty reminisent of Gothika?

I thought it was like stir of echos

When Lois found Chloe in the opening scene, I swore she was going to say,
"I see dead people...."

When Clark and Chloe were talking at the end, the only thing I could think of was that Chloe has the 6th sense. Exposure to Kryptonite maybe?

I've seen some people compare "Tomb" to the ANGEL episode "Rm w/a Vu", the episode where we meet Phantom Dennis. :D

And, you know, I have no problem with a show borrowing from something else. In fact, borrowing is almost unavoidable. What really matters is the execution. If a TV show "borrows" an idea from somewhere else, does it really well, and adds a few of their own twists, I'm fine with that.

unfortunately, SV steals (er, adapts) far too much and executes it miserably (i'm not referring to the acting).

now i would agree that most shows today steal from shows of the past. there are very few shows that have anything original in them (hell, they can't come up with original movies anymore).

i am not fine with that. if you can't come up with anything original, then you don't deserve the job.

however there are a handful of shows left that can be considered original. but then again, that's how it's always been . :(

BoSoxJim steps down from his soapbox.

now would that be the original japanese versions or the US ripoffs, er, i mean remakes.

[midnite_spark]

the ripooff......remakes :)

[RedDwarfette]

Jeeze, the least they could do if they were going to rip off the movies would be to use the original [and actually good] material. Not crappy remakes that completely miss the point of the foreign film by... sorry about that, I have issues ;)

[Scorpio31]

I would say Saw , with the whole killing themselves.

I thought the same thing

[UpandAtom]

I thought this episode was very much like an episode of Supernatural.
