the original was shot in black and white and was way more creepy and suspenseful than this one.mr carpenter no more remakes.you have said that you did some movies just to receive a paycheck, well i think this was one of them.the acting is terribly stale and do we really need to see kirstie alley sucking on a butte nearly 90% of the time she is on the screen?this movie does have it's moments but they are so few and far between that i cannot fully endorse this picture.the children do a nice job and are quite convincing but the overall view of this is to say that carpenter needs to not go back and remake one of his favorite old movies.it worked with the thing but not here.
