I thought this was awful. It felt so derivative, so uncreative, not helped by the standard trend towards dark, brooding atmosphere (does anyone else know a photographer that doesn't have decent lighting in their apartment?). It does use some scenes from the original movies (I think - if not they are definitely themed that way - and quite effectively) - but it doesn't really help.
The original (not the horrible remake) was truly a shocker. I can still remember the deaths in that movie - creative, scary and surprising at a time when special effects was very different.
This series is so obviously an entertainment executives attempt to leverage off that movie to make money that they should be ashamed. Perhaps a little more time thinking about what attracts audiences would be a good plan for that exec in future.
Hahahhaaaa hilarious review. I don't see it as truly awful I see it as average mindless entertainment with enough excitement to make it worthwhile viewing when bored. Certainly doesn't make my recommendation list...
