User Reviews

Actually pretty good.

Despite not actually seeing the original, not many remakes can catch my eye. This one did though the plan about seeing the original is still in affect. But here's what I have;

One of the key points that seemed clinched but ended up being a total twist was with the dead guy in the car. When they accidentally kill the guy in self defense, they end up thinking he's the second person after finding the trunk empty. Cliche until the guy is revealed to still be dead. I was like, that is such a twist. Coupled with the fact that the whole backstory is being explained throughout the film itself in ways not many films can do, is great. Most movies either give too much away or don't elaborate. This one was nicely done.

Lastly, I find the torture scene humorous. Even Freddy Krueger would have smiled. And even though the scene between the two sisters letting the audience know the older sister ran away "last time", and it's not elaborated on-- it doesn't need to be. It's satsifying to know a film knows that the past is the past when it comes to the important things. I really liked this film.
