Aweful, dondt waste your time or money

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2018)

I am a big fan of the book and the original mini-series and i was adamently against watching thattmovietin the first place bc I am not down with remaking already existing movies just for the sake of making a remake. But, I have been talked into it, and after watching it, i am so incredibly glad I did NOT spend money on it.
This movie is neither scary nor good. It is a random sequence of bad scenes that have no logical sense whatsoever. Not ONE of the scenes in that movie is actually correct and the only resemblance to the original story is the name and the character's names. No backstory, no character development and nothing at all that explains any of the happenings. Mike Hanlon was degraded to a unnecessary side character and his character got a whole new and unnecessary story.
We mixed book and miniseries content (like Ben being new here, too) without actually accomplishing any of it. I have no idea which one they tried to remake, but it is simultaneously both and neither!!!
There was just soo much missing, don't even get me started on that list, but somehow the writers decided to compensate this with giving us stupid and unnecessary new content.
I hated that movie so much, I can't seem to fathom how this movie gets such a high rating.
