I don't have much time, at the moment, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hadn't seen the original until the night before I went to see the remake. To be brutally honest, I hated the original. Yes, the villain was cool and original, but I just didn't find it creepy. If you're looking for a carbon copy of the original, don't go see it; it's really its own movie.
I loved it. It made me jump quite a few times, and I was tense a lot of the movie. Biel did a great job, IMO. I've read reviews where she's been described as average, but she looked pretty damn scared to me - realistically so.
I suggest seeing it. People expecting a true-to-tale remake are going to be disappointed. It really is it's own movie - it's done like a Hollywood movie - great lighting, great cinematography, and angle sweeps. But it's very cool.
