I understand that this is the remake of an old movie as animation so I'll start there. The animation is just below average. That pretty much says it all. There is nothing interesting or entertaining about it.
Someone probably liked the old movie and wanted to remake it to share it with the rest of the world in a new light but I wish they didn't.
And then about the movie.
The overall writing is sloppy.
Maybe this was a good movie in its own time but the writing aged very poorly. There is nothing to it that would be worth watching. No character development, no moral struggles, no real conflict just "GET IN THE CELLAR. NO YOU'LL BE TRAPPED. NO GET IN THE CELLAR" for ten minutes straight.
I have kids in my class who'd write a better plot.

- Plot holes: Half this stuff just makes no sense.
- Irrational behaviour: Who even ACTS like that?? ANY of it? Especially the women they are like puppets.
- The only one guy that does anything and makes any sense, okay, no, I won't spoil it, you get the idea anyway.
