Oh yeah! Except for the wimpy ending (Caspar saves the day!) this was a hoot and a half. It's got a wonderfully gruesome vibe and is relentlessly mean in a friendly sort of way.
ReplyDeleteThe last act left a bit to be desired, but this is still a surprisingly effective remake. One that I um, actually prefer over the original.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the original is still fun, but it's relatively friendly compared to the remake... though it has that gag with the woman's ghost outside the window that still gets to me a bit.
ReplyDeleteWhile this one was in no way a "good movie", I still pull it off the shelf and pop it into the DVD player once in a while 'cause I dig it a lot! For a movie that's so flawed -- sub-par performances, dated CGI, etc. -- there are also a handful of genuinely creeeeeeepy moments. Love the soundtrack, too.
