Don't know how many of you ever saw the original flick, which is a Wes Craven classic tale of revenge. This version seems to be taking quite a few liberties, which I will explain after the video:
1. I'm curious as to whether the extent of the violence and the gore from the original will still be present. The original is still considered one of the most violent films to ever be released. This, on the other hand, seems as if it might try to just turn the whole movie into nothing more than a gorno. The original had a REASON for the uber-violence.
2. They changed Phyllis' name to Paige, and they don't make it very clear in the trailer whether or not the horrific shit that happened to her in the original happens in this flick.
3. The parents originally figured out about the "gang" harming their daughter because of a peace sign hanging on Sadie's neck, and the parents go out to the lake and find Mari. However, in this, it would seem that Mari makes it to the house on her own and the parents find her. Bullshit.
Overall, I'm kind of psyched to see the movie, as I'm a huge Wes Craven fan and loved the original flick. I'm also happy that they are sticking to an R-rating on this remake instead of trying to go PG-13 with it. However, I'm just not sure about how well this will hold up. Craven was a producer on it, but at the same time, go back and look at Red Eye and Cursed. = /
