Great remake, prefer the original though...

Rating: 7/10 (21 April 2013)

I think It was a great remake. Most Hollywood horror flick now tend to show a "realistic" point of view in horror movies these days and usually It makes the movie more frightening and for this movie they showed a more intimate version of the characters. For example, the story introduces "Mia", a drug addict who is struggling to stop his addiction who had to take care of his mother while the brother David was not there.
The movie has a LOT more gore in it, way more than the original, maybe too much. What I would have love to see is a more psychological approach, horror that keep messing with your mind instead of having all the blood and guts splattered over the screen which don't leave much for the imagination. It was entertaining but not that much scary, only disgusting... I think the original movie had this creepy "old movie" feeling that we didn't have in the new version...
But overall i'm giving it a 7, entertaining, good movie, better than a lot of horror movies out there, worth to see if you don't mind gore
