...also break the fourth wall? And does it include the remote control moment?
I have never seen the later film but have heard that it follows the original quite closely -- I do wonder whether these techniques would have the same impact a second time around.
Yeah. They're almost a shot-for-shot carbon copy of one another. Even the house looks the same (the layout and everything). I've seen them both (the remake first) and they're both equally great.
shareThanks for clarifying! I shall certainly check out the remake eventually. It will be interesting to see how I respond to it with prior knowledge of all that is coming.
shareI think you'll like it. When I did the reverse and watched the original after seeing the remake several times, it still affected me the same way. With a film done so brilliantly (twice, even!) it's hard not to feel all that tension, fear, frustration and despair by its end. The remake also has a great cast who deliver perfect performances (even the kid's a great actor).
