Original is a masterpiece


Stick to that one. V

I agree. Try watching it in the dark and it can scare you without CGI or the appearance of ghosts.

Ya know...I've seen the original many times and it was just 'meh' to me.

This one was perfect for its time, a CGI fest that was probably a lot of fun on a big screen. Lots of CGI stuff was coming out around then. Could have been better too but it was fine for what it was. I liked it better that the original.

"CGI fest" is all I need to hear to take a pass on any movie. The original was atmospheric, scary, and actually terrifying in the bedroom scene when Eleanor thought it was Theodora holding her hand...but it wasn't.

People can watch what they want as far as I concerned.
