Godawful, pointless remake doesn't engender sympathy or interest for anyone; it's shameless, ill-conceived and difficult to watch and so is Lynn Red-faced's performance. Wasn't Bruce Vilanch available? You gotta give her credit for shameless exhibitionism. Just look at The Last of the Mobile Hot Shots, her portrayal of to Xavier Hollander in The Happy Hooker, and in Smashing Time she looked like Jay Leno in drag, but this is an embarrassment as is the whole film which destroys any sense the original,campy Gothic had, and even if you haven't seen the original this amateurish, mean-spirited remake will make you cringe. The whole thing seems like a long, unfunny joke that was completed in single takes and even Vanessa Redgrave is useless. I think I know why this travesty is never shown.
