Title: Commercializing A Classic
Review: There seems to be a trend in Hollywood now where classic, psychological, intelligent horror films are dumbed down and made rediculus by giving them this big-budget remake treatment. This film lacks the creepy atmosphere of the original and requires no inteligence of the audiance. Rather than build a mood through true film-making techniques, this film relies upon fake looking computer effects to the point there is nothing to be afraid of because we are shown everything. The actors also seem wooden. The producers of this movie clearly wanted to just cash in on a famous story. I wish there were more original film-makers out there. If you're under 18 and like cheasy, trendy top-40 music and mindless fast paced action movies with no script, then this movie is for you.
