 * On reviews - how about Variety - http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117932903.html?categoryid=31&cs=1&p=0; the Village Voice - http://www.villagevoice.com/2007-02-20/film/the-abandoned/ ; The Boston Globe - http://www.boston.com/movies/display?display=movie&id=9720 and the New York Times - http://movies.nytimes.com/2007/02/24/movies/24aban.html.


 * NYT refers to it being on national release. http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=abandoned.htm mentions 1,000 screens - is that enough ? -- Beardo (talk) 00:36, 15 October 2008 (UTC)


 * AHEM* If anyone is trying to suggest that this article be taken down for whatever reason, I should like to say that I JUST NOW got finished watching the film myself, and the plot is consistent with the article's explanation (it actually helped to clear a few things up.) -- Dr. Ransom (talk) 3:36 AM, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
