Its resoundingly terrible, and thats as a stand alone film. As a remake, it easily ranks among the worst, alongside The Wicker Man and One Missed Call. The 30yr olds playing teens all range from shitty to more shitty, and the plot has a distinct "We wrote this on the back of our Egg McMuffin wrapper this morning before shooting" feel to it. You almost have to see it to believe it, but the film forgoes all of the strengths that are inherent in the original.I Like Horror Movieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851268002582984544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380665968912689179.post-46820589235217030292009-03-16T20:49:00.000-07:002009-03-16T20:49:00.000-07:00Hey Dragonmanes. You hit the nail on the head with...Hey Dragonmanes. <BR/><BR/>You hit the nail on the head with your comments. I could actually gush about the cast and the cool Agatha Christie touches and the fact that someone tried to do something new and essentially got punished for it. What I took away from the film was my weird ambivalence to it. I think it was really good, but I had a hard time connecting to it and I'm pretty sure because of what I brought to the table. <BR/><BR/>I was actually really curious about the remake. Does it keep the ending? Is it as bad as I've been hearing?Creaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04287192029300591471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380665968912689179.post-30264013118598428022009-03-16T19:56:00.000-07:002009-03-16T19:56:00.000-07:00Hey, I'll take a "I think I enjoyed it"!

Most slasher fans detest the film and blame it for killing the slasher genre, but I think it is very smart and well crafted, and makes for something fun and original. It isnt nearly as bad as anyone makes it out to be, and as you mentioned it has far superior acting and atmosphere to a large majority of the crappy slashers that hit the shelves in the mid to late 80s. That being said, DONT watch the remake if you treasure your life!I Like Horror Movieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15851268002582984544noreply@blogger.com
