one of my favorite films.

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2009)

let me start by saying i love the original Vincent price version. but this is a spectacular movie in a completely different kind of way. this movie is amazing. i first saw it when i was seven years old -I'm 28 now- and have watched it a MILLION times since then. I'm not exaggerating either. this movie broke me in at a young age and not many other films -and maybe no other film- has ever come even close to creeping me out like this one. I'm not a fan of remakes usually but this one is a BIG exception. this was before Hollywood big budget bastardized remakes. the effects are real effects done the way they were supposed to be. the way they should be done now. and the way they always should be. no phony looking c.g.i. here. this is also to this day one of the goriest films i have ever seen. and done so in a way that actually adds to the film. it just wouldn't be the same without the bodily disintegration of the main character.
i absolutely adore this movie.
