I kept wondering when child services would turn up and do something about it! I only made it to the end out of sheer stubbornness, not because I enjoyed the film. And even then, it took two attempts!<br /><br />The original, however, is exceptionally good, and well worth watching. The slow pace did not detract from the experience - The creepy atmosphere was allowed the time to build.Reg Langfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963138287172311425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-78946401177015205872009-08-08T14:02:06.343+01:002009-08-08T14:02:06.343+01:00The original is the best but I thought the remake ...The original is the best but I thought the remake was pretty well done. I think the remake can be best described as being somehow more gentle than the original. Maybe because it sacrifices scares for characterization.<br /><br />All my opinion of course.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09492062472206579391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16605980.post-89111116882992434372009-08-06T09:05:13.598+01:002009-08-06T09:05:13.598+01:00On your recommendation, I feel I have to!

I like the original film better, but I did feel the remake was worth a watch at least. Let us know if you give it a watch as well!Heather Santroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225708725622936749noreply@blogger.com
