So the remake is out.........
and getting surprisingly good reviews.
Hrm. I'm going to see it at some point, might have to reassess my depression over it being remade if it's good.
I've just been reading tons of reviews about it.
Pretty much, people who haven't seen the original will think it's awesome.
People who have seen the original, will enjoy it, and there are a few unique scenes and performances that differ from the original.
However, on the whole, it's not as good as the original (which was a masterpiece) but good enough.
Sounds about right.
Seems to me that it will be similar to the original, only taken more in a horror direction and less in the drama direction. That's... ok. Different, but ok.
And honestly, so long as people who haven't seen the original will think it's good, that's a definitely plus. The story is amazing, and I hate seeing foreign films with amazing stories being remade into piles of shit that everyone hates (which discredits the original to potential new viewers).
