Good remake of a great horror film

Rating: 8/10 (14 March 2006)

Just seen this today and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. The original was a classic I saw in the late 70's. This was the same story but with more in your face violence and gore. The violence is thick and fast after 30 Min's or so as the family is terrorised. In fact 2 people walked out of the early morning showing I was watching after 45 Min's as they could'nt stomach it. The acting was also good and even though I knew the plot, the tension had me on the edge of my seat. After Haute Tension, Saw, TCSM and Dawn of the Dead remakes this is a great addition to the genre. Looking forward to the Omen remake and Hostel, this is a great time to enjoy horror films and make sure you don't miss this one!!!
