The cinematography alone is just so good. They really find the creep factor with lighting, angles and smoke/fog. The forest scenes look hauntingly beautiful. Obviously style and overall script of the movie is similar with music, nods and flow of the original movie but it's also done so well and I think for the new generation, it's going to be a scary movie unlike anything out there recently. It's good. The jumps and scares are just perfect. Not all of the writing was exceptional but the actors perform well even in those couple scenes of unnatural responses/lines. But trust me it's not even that bad with those couple lines, I'm just being picky. I feel like the sequels are going to go in a different direction with the next two and with Madelaine's acting, it leaves you excited for what's to come! Those complaining of "why did they make another or it's similar to the first" can't take themselves out of the "remake" of it all, and enjoy the movie. Why did they do this?? Because they were home.
