Underrated and visually fantastic


I forgot just how striking Bojan Bazelli's use of color and shadow and light (and darkness) is here; the picture may be Ferrara's most visually impressive. It's also by far the biggest budget he ever worked with, which makes me wish more people would throw money at the man again.

Agreed. I'll also go on record as saying it's just barely below the original in my opinion.

Amazingly underrated; Its my second favorite after the 78 film, to be honest :)

Probably my fav version. It's by far the gloomiest, most depressing version. Can't believe it rates at 5.9. Too many fanboys of the original give it a low rating.

Highly underrated and underappreciated; seriously one of the best remakes there is :)

Cool.

I agree. The movie is terrifying and effective in its pacing. I saw this on T.V one night in 2004 as a teenager and I was alone in the house and was scared out of my head. Such a creepy vibe to the film and the visuals are fantastic.

A slick production for sure.
