can someone tell me why the 97' is a masterpiece but the 07' isn't? i've watched them both and they're virtually identical.

Micheal Pitt was perfect for this movie ^_^

@SBV123 I allways think it is because most americans can not be botherd to read Subs on a movie. thats why you get so many remakes like Ringu, Dark water and most recently Girl with the dragon tattoo.

was is the point to make a new Version of the movie with no diffrance at all ? both of the movie have the some Scene the same Dialogue and the same character.

@SBV123 one word: acting

[Nutplucker]

I feel something (most things) just work better in the original.. The atmosphere. Look at the shots.. They are not the same.. Compare the total shot of dad and son in the boat, notice the horizon and the sizes compared to the a little bit more "overwhelming" looks of the original. This way I feel the original works better, like the family is more trapped.. In the remake it seemed easier getting help etc. When the neighbours come sailing etc. Something felt more hopeless in the original.. imo.

[Nutplucker]

Yeah, both Naomi and Roth was good, and the killers too. Guess I was just more creeped out by the original than the remake.. Also the original looks warmer, with more yellow lights than blue cold lights. Which was a better contrast to the cold killers' actions imo. The remake is good though! Just not as good as the original=p

@adirtysunset Speak for yourself, asshole.

This whole anti-American bullshit for the sake of being anti-American is just fucking annoying already. The 2007 remake is a frame-by-frame remake. Same scenes, different language and actors. Nothing is more "drawn out".

Wrap your sophisticated mind around that you sorry fuck.

[RJhasFLOW]

@Nutplucker Does the original require more effort than the remake?

As an American I watched both and enjoyed them both. I don't understand your comment at all.

This movie is one of the best scarey/creepy movies ever. Never knew there was a 1997 version

[Zenon666ification]

Like seriously? Only the 97' is a masterpiece? Stop quoting bad reviews and judge for yourself - the 2007 had OUTSTANDING performances. While the 97' version was really good, the 2007 is a level above. That is if you can handle the slow-paced action. Some simple-minded whackaloons can't. Sorry for being offensive... not.
