Don't Bother
Nope. Not even close. The characters are pale colorless versions of the originals lacking any depth or spark and screaming, bratty children are not entertaining on either side of the screen. The story line is watered down and lacks the nuances that made the original a great movie. The suspense was nonexistent; the few scares there were relied on cheesy shock scenes rather than good film making. The few plot points that weren't watered down or eliminated entirely were exaggerated to ludicrous levels. The music was utterly forgettable and the obvious attempts to update the setting for 21st century viewers were trite and cliché. If you want to see this movie the way it was meant to be seen, rent the original. This one doesn't hold a candle to it. Don't waste your time or money.
