Meh, it was ok... It seemed like it still followed the "gore and skin shots" values of the early times, though. Don't get me wrong, a good horror movie NEEDS gore most of the time, and gore/skin shots are what made the early horror films great, but audiences today have a hard time being sustained by gore and flesh alone with just a skeleton plot (unless they're a younger audience). I'm not talking down to anyone, though, it's just younger audiences just tend to be more enthralled in testing their limits of what they can and can't stand to watch because they're coming of age. However, I think since they truly planned on making this movie for a broad audience, I think there was actually too many "money shots" so-to-speak, like they were thinking "Hey, this 5-minute shot has NO gore in it! Let's squeeze some in, even though it doesn't contribute to the story at all."
Horror, to me, just doesn't come from gore alone.
Plus, I'm always a fan of an original movie more than I am of a remake... heh, but that's just me.
