Saw this last night after having it on DVD for 10 years but not getting around to watching until now.
The films story is much the same as the original. It's actually a shot for shot remake of the 1960 original so every line you hear in this flick is what you heard in the original.
I found the film to be not bad. I mean, it's not great, but then it's not terrible either. The casting is maybe a bit off but not bad. The shower scene is ok, but not as suspenseful or as dark and sinister as the original. The film is in colour and I guess improves on the film in terms of moderness, of course the film now is nearly 26 years old but, it still doesn't feel as old or slightly dated as the 1960 film.
The pacing isn't bad and the runtime of 95 minutes (1 hour 35 minutes), isn't bad at all and about right for a film like this. Of course this film isnt a patch on the 1960 original, but it ain't terrible either.
Overall, it's not bad. While it improves on colour (not that that was an issue with the original but it's an improvement) and modernises the original a bit morw for a new generation, it's still not great, but is ok for what it is.
6/10.
