Being a big fan of the original I was hardly excited to hear that they were doing a remake. First of all remakes of classics (even horror classics) usually suck. And with the dearth of quality horror movies among the plethora of bad ones I deffinitely didn't expect the new TCM to come along and wow everyone. And the director is a video director, which isn't always bad, but his sparse resume happens to include something video thing for Janet Jackson. Not promising unless that sort of thing scares you.

Then the trailer came out (playing in fron of American Wedding here) and my friend couldn't stop talking about it.

Having finally seen the trailer, I admit it does look kind of cool (mainly because of some flash bulb effect they do) but I'm still not really confident that it will even be decent.

Any fans of the original out there? Seen the trailer? Thoughts?
