Unfairly Bashed

Come on, it's not as bad as people make out it is. I've noticed on here that many people see a film getting slated and merely jump on the bandwagon.

Of course the film is flawed, and yeah it's nowhere near as good as the original, but the effects are good and the whole film has a nice, creepy undertone throughout.

Ropey acting and implausible plotlines are commonplace in the horror genre so why single this film out for so much criticism?

3.2/10 is unfair. I'd give it 7/10. Sorry but I enjoyed it.

If you've still to see it, ignore the bashings and see it for yourself. Then you can make your mind up whether it's crap or not...

See You At The Derry

I've tried to see the remake about 6-7 times. It bores me with 15 minutes every time.

I believe that Carpenter said in the commentaries on the DVD of the original was that he was trying to make a ghost story. The remake didn't feel like a ghost story, it felt like a horror story and it was a very weak horror story at that.
