Just an over-amped thyroidal version of the original which itself was just a horror movie. it's like watching an original movie and then watching it again with the color saturation turned up all the way until it distorts. it's a disgusting pointless stupid people ... for an audience that is dumb enough to pay for it.
share100% agree with OP. This movie was absurd. Then it seemed to wink at the audience about how dumb it was being when it spun the camera over in the storm scene. It was like a 60s Adam West Batman episode minus the funny shit.

I have never heard a more apt description of how I feel every time I see this movie lol.
It is entertaining at least. Can't accuse it of being dull, even if it is silly.
Love this and Shutter Island. Wish Scorsese would do more horror movies.
sharePut the film on mute and it's just junk.
shareI came here after watching this to make sure I'm not the only one who thought this was awful. Easily the worst Scorsese film I've seen. What was especially bad was the theater scene. I was watching that wondering, "Okay, Juliette Lewis is a good actress. Robert De Niro is a good actor. Scorsese is a good director. Why then then is this one of the most amateurishly bad scenes I've ever seen???" Bad movie.
shareCouldn't agree more. It was an awful movie, but more than that, the original movie was not great either. It was at the beginning of a trend of pointlessly violent exploitation movies, and they got the great Gregory Peck to star in it. The 1990's was the start of a lot of negative trends in movies.
shareLove this movie, and I’m someone who usually hates remakes. It’s tense, disturbing, and creepy. DeNiro was awesome.
You can all eat shit. Lol.
