[bleys]

worth watching? or never live up to the original?

It does look better. Doesn't mean it is better.

I loved the movie when I was a kid.

My 10 yo son saw a pic of Freddie last year and decided that was what he wanted to be for Halloween. So, I rented the movie so he could understand the character.

He laughed the whole time and said it was not scary. And, he was right. It was very cheesy this time around.

I am looking forward to the new one to see what they can do with the special effects.

Boy, I hope it's better than the Halloween 2 remake. The first one was good, at least it was the Halloween story, but 2 had nothing to do with the story....what a peice of crap. I didn't finish watching it.

The previews look pretty good, but who knows. The director Samuel Bayer has never really done much of anything but music videos. Maybe he took some hints from Rob Zombie and dabbled a little deeper into the psycho's psychy. I thought Rob did an excellent job remaking the Halloween movies.

I remember as a kid that poo was scary as hell..

now. it is hilarious, the special FX are horrible...

with advances in technology, it really has potential to be scary.

my only gripe will be, like most horror films, in the end they are cheesy as hell. like Mirrors, that was a very scary movie, up until the end when the butchered lady ruined it for me.
