I enjoyed this bigger-budget and well-acted remake, but as to the base plot I simply couldn't suspend my disbelief. Estates that large are never so empty, even when the breadwinner homeowner is off-premises. There's always household staff about maintaining the aspects of the house that need maintenance whether Paris Hilton is using them or not. The fact that the house would still be staffed does, though, explain why the alarms wouldn't be engaged and why the doors would be so accessible. I know this is based on a true story, but I think some details were left out or exaggerated for the sake of a compelling story as they do not match with realistic behavior.
