Yep. I was gonna mention that movie. I heard it’s based on a book called The House of the Scorpion, that’s supposed to be a pretty decent book.

Never heard of that book -- however, I recall that the producer of Parts: The Clonus Horror sued them for doing an uncredited ripoff (and, given the similarities in both concept and plot points, he seems to have a good case).

It's one of the few movies I own, as I'm not real big on watching movies over and over. The way it unfolds from the beginning is very well done. You can tell something just isn't quite right but you can't put your finger on it. Then, as the story progresses, you get that *AHA!* moment and everything starts to come into focus. I won't give any more away for those who haven't seen it, but if you haven't seen this movie...DO IT!
