A remake that is actually better than the original

While this movie isn't great, it is one of those rare remakes that actually exceeds the original. It stays close to the original (including some of the same dialogue) but exceeds it in every possible way, not bad! I've actually seen it a couple times now, never thought that would happen. This remake I'm sure was another cash-in remake effort by Hollywood, but regardless, it's an entertaining film, which is more than I can say for the majority of remakes in recent years. Plus, you can't go wrong with Ted Levine.

Movies I really enjoyed in 2011 - 1. Bellflower 2. Hanna 3. The Artist ....That's it, folks!

Remake was well done , but original is the one that scared the crap outta me on late night TV around 1980

I didn't care for it much. It didn't have the menacing scenes that I thought it would have. Pretty tame.

It may be better than the original, but neither are very good to begin with.
