Title: Insult to the Original
Product review: I am especially disturbed by the scads of movies made recently which have mindboggling great special effects but crappy storylines and charecterizations. (DeepBlueSea, Godzilla, Twister, etc etc etc) I'm not even going to bother comparing this to the 1950s classic, I don't think remakes are always a bad idea but in that case, I think the charming tale is a period piece which tampering could only reveal how life in the modern era lets us down. Computers can't create terror in my opinion. I also detest the portrayal of the millionaire's wife in this flick. Aren't we sick of the stereotype of "the gold hunting evil woman fooling around". Haven't we moved beyond this? But I can't diss the flick entirely. The idea behind this film is decidedly creepy. It isn't a boring movie by any means either. The ending is quite poor however.
