This remake is better than the original and 100 percent better than US as far as horror movies go. I wish they had killed the little kid instead of his older sister like the original but the ending in this one is great. Last 30 mins is the best first hour is a bit slow. Overall the make up effects, acting, and the tone is better then the original.
shareThe original was closer to the book, but it made the mistake of verifying that Rachel kills Louis. In the book, it was up to interpretation.
This version works because it jostles things around to make you unsure of how people will die and when, but also leaves the ending open for you to fill in yourself like the book did.
My two nephews thought it was OK, but the 80s version was better.
Proud moment for this uncle.
