I was looking for a good horror movie...thought this was it..NOT. I have never seen the original but if it was anything like this, I can't imagine what all the hoopla was about. This was a boring, boring movie. The plot was not hard to figure out before you were halfway into it. It seemed as if the famous "shower scene" happened way too soon, with little build up...you know the kind...the kind that keeps you on the edge of your seat. For this to be some kind of "remake" of a classic...one has to wonder what was so great about it to begin with. Did they leave that part out?
