Wow! Another unneeded remake that smells like shit. It did have souped-up FX, decent acting, and a fast pace though, all for no reason. Let's face the facts, the original was about subtlety and psychological horror that played upon the fear of what wasn't seen. We see too much here (except Zeta Jones shedding clothes would have been nice) and it all seems so over-done. Luckily, it is watchable just for the eye-candy FX and the sprawling mansion scenes. But, that really was all I got from this. The video and DVD box looks kinda cool though.
