Reviewit’s not as good as the original. the original was much more about character and commentary than this version, which is more about entertainment than anything else. it’s certainly not a bad film, i’ve watched it twice now and it’s entertained me pretty thoroughly both times. my biggest gripe with this film is that it occasionally dips into horror cliché. the most glaring example being the woman who leaves the mall to rescue the dog, which of course doesn’t go so well. i just hate that crap. other than that the film is a pretty solid remake. there’s a good amount of comic relief, the characters are rounded enough for the film’s purposes and the ending doesn’t puss out.
